Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 59,041,345, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 59,041,345 | |
| -1 | -59,041,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,041,345.
Example:
1 x 59,041,345 = 59,041,345
and
-1 x -59,041,345 = 59,041,345
Notice both answers equal 59,041,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,041,345 and divide it by 2:
59,041,345 ÷ 2 = 29,520,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,520,672.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 59,041,345 | |
| -1 | -59,041,345 |
Now, we try dividing 59,041,345 by 3:
59,041,345 ÷ 3 = 19,680,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,680,448.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 59,041,345 | |
| -1 | -59,041,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,041,345 ÷ 4 = 14,760,336.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,760,336.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 59,041,345 | |
| -1 | 59,041,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 55 | 115 | 121 | 253 | 605 | 1,265 | 2,783 | 4,243 | 13,915 | 21,215 | 46,673 | 97,589 | 233,365 | 487,945 | 513,403 | 1,073,479 | 2,567,015 | 5,367,395 | 11,808,269 | 59,041,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -55 | -115 | -121 | -253 | -605 | -1,265 | -2,783 | -4,243 | -13,915 | -21,215 | -46,673 | -97,589 | -233,365 | -487,945 | -513,403 | -1,073,479 | -2,567,015 | -5,367,395 | -11,808,269 | -59,041,345 |
