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 51,445,405, 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 | 51,445,405 | |
| -1 | -51,445,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,445,405.
Example:
1 x 51,445,405 = 51,445,405
and
-1 x -51,445,405 = 51,445,405
Notice both answers equal 51,445,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,445,405 and divide it by 2:
51,445,405 ÷ 2 = 25,722,702.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,722,702.5 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 | 51,445,405 | |
| -1 | -51,445,405 |
Now, we try dividing 51,445,405 by 3:
51,445,405 ÷ 3 = 17,148,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,148,468.3333 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 | 51,445,405 | |
| -1 | -51,445,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,445,405 ÷ 4 = 12,861,351.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,861,351.25 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 | 51,445,405 | |
| -1 | 51,445,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 97 | 485 | 1,067 | 5,335 | 9,643 | 48,215 | 106,073 | 530,365 | 935,371 | 4,676,855 | 10,289,081 | 51,445,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -97 | -485 | -1,067 | -5,335 | -9,643 | -48,215 | -106,073 | -530,365 | -935,371 | -4,676,855 | -10,289,081 | -51,445,405 |
