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 51,044,353, 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 | 51,044,353 | |
| -1 | -51,044,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,044,353.
Example:
1 x 51,044,353 = 51,044,353
and
-1 x -51,044,353 = 51,044,353
Notice both answers equal 51,044,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,044,353 and divide it by 2:
51,044,353 ÷ 2 = 25,522,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,522,176.5 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 | 51,044,353 | |
| -1 | -51,044,353 |
Now, we try dividing 51,044,353 by 3:
51,044,353 ÷ 3 = 17,014,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,014,784.3333 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 | 51,044,353 | |
| -1 | -51,044,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,044,353 ÷ 4 = 12,761,088.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,761,088.25 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 | 51,044,353 | |
| -1 | 51,044,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 53 | 181 | 313 | 901 | 3,077 | 5,321 | 9,593 | 16,589 | 56,653 | 163,081 | 282,013 | 963,101 | 3,002,609 | 51,044,353 |
| -1 | -17 | -53 | -181 | -313 | -901 | -3,077 | -5,321 | -9,593 | -16,589 | -56,653 | -163,081 | -282,013 | -963,101 | -3,002,609 | -51,044,353 |
