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 51,056,335, 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 | 51,056,335 | |
| -1 | -51,056,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,056,335.
Example:
1 x 51,056,335 = 51,056,335
and
-1 x -51,056,335 = 51,056,335
Notice both answers equal 51,056,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,056,335 and divide it by 2:
51,056,335 ÷ 2 = 25,528,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,528,167.5 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 | 51,056,335 | |
| -1 | -51,056,335 |
Now, we try dividing 51,056,335 by 3:
51,056,335 ÷ 3 = 17,018,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,018,778.3333 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 | 51,056,335 | |
| -1 | -51,056,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,056,335 ÷ 4 = 12,764,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,764,083.75 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 | 51,056,335 | |
| -1 | 51,056,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 517 | 2,585 | 19,751 | 98,755 | 217,261 | 928,297 | 1,086,305 | 4,641,485 | 10,211,267 | 51,056,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -517 | -2,585 | -19,751 | -98,755 | -217,261 | -928,297 | -1,086,305 | -4,641,485 | -10,211,267 | -51,056,335 |
