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 51,354,335, 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 | 51,354,335 | |
| -1 | -51,354,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,354,335.
Example:
1 x 51,354,335 = 51,354,335
and
-1 x -51,354,335 = 51,354,335
Notice both answers equal 51,354,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,354,335 and divide it by 2:
51,354,335 ÷ 2 = 25,677,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,677,167.5 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 | 51,354,335 | |
| -1 | -51,354,335 |
Now, we try dividing 51,354,335 by 3:
51,354,335 ÷ 3 = 17,118,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,118,111.6667 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 | 51,354,335 | |
| -1 | -51,354,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,354,335 ÷ 4 = 12,838,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,838,583.75 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 | 51,354,335 | |
| -1 | 51,354,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 89 | 185 | 445 | 3,119 | 3,293 | 15,595 | 16,465 | 115,403 | 277,591 | 577,015 | 1,387,955 | 10,270,867 | 51,354,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -89 | -185 | -445 | -3,119 | -3,293 | -15,595 | -16,465 | -115,403 | -277,591 | -577,015 | -1,387,955 | -10,270,867 | -51,354,335 |
