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 51,703,735, 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 | 51,703,735 | |
| -1 | -51,703,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,703,735.
Example:
1 x 51,703,735 = 51,703,735
and
-1 x -51,703,735 = 51,703,735
Notice both answers equal 51,703,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,703,735 and divide it by 2:
51,703,735 ÷ 2 = 25,851,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,851,867.5 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 | 51,703,735 | |
| -1 | -51,703,735 |
Now, we try dividing 51,703,735 by 3:
51,703,735 ÷ 3 = 17,234,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,234,578.3333 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 | 51,703,735 | |
| -1 | -51,703,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,703,735 ÷ 4 = 12,925,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,925,933.75 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 | 51,703,735 | |
| -1 | 51,703,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 131 | 193 | 409 | 655 | 965 | 2,045 | 25,283 | 53,579 | 78,937 | 126,415 | 267,895 | 394,685 | 10,340,747 | 51,703,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -131 | -193 | -409 | -655 | -965 | -2,045 | -25,283 | -53,579 | -78,937 | -126,415 | -267,895 | -394,685 | -10,340,747 | -51,703,735 |
