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 51,437,375, 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 | 51,437,375 | |
| -1 | -51,437,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,437,375.
Example:
1 x 51,437,375 = 51,437,375
and
-1 x -51,437,375 = 51,437,375
Notice both answers equal 51,437,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,437,375 and divide it by 2:
51,437,375 ÷ 2 = 25,718,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,718,687.5 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 | 51,437,375 | |
| -1 | -51,437,375 |
Now, we try dividing 51,437,375 by 3:
51,437,375 ÷ 3 = 17,145,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,145,791.6667 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 | 51,437,375 | |
| -1 | -51,437,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,437,375 ÷ 4 = 12,859,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,859,343.75 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 | 51,437,375 | |
| -1 | 51,437,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 1,375 | 37,409 | 187,045 | 411,499 | 935,225 | 2,057,495 | 4,676,125 | 10,287,475 | 51,437,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -1,375 | -37,409 | -187,045 | -411,499 | -935,225 | -2,057,495 | -4,676,125 | -10,287,475 | -51,437,375 |
