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 51,911,305, 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 | 51,911,305 | |
| -1 | -51,911,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,911,305.
Example:
1 x 51,911,305 = 51,911,305
and
-1 x -51,911,305 = 51,911,305
Notice both answers equal 51,911,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,911,305 and divide it by 2:
51,911,305 ÷ 2 = 25,955,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,955,652.5 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 | 51,911,305 | |
| -1 | -51,911,305 |
Now, we try dividing 51,911,305 by 3:
51,911,305 ÷ 3 = 17,303,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,303,768.3333 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 | 51,911,305 | |
| -1 | -51,911,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,911,305 ÷ 4 = 12,977,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,977,826.25 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 | 51,911,305 | |
| -1 | 51,911,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 61 | 145 | 305 | 1,769 | 5,869 | 8,845 | 29,345 | 170,201 | 358,009 | 851,005 | 1,790,045 | 10,382,261 | 51,911,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -61 | -145 | -305 | -1,769 | -5,869 | -8,845 | -29,345 | -170,201 | -358,009 | -851,005 | -1,790,045 | -10,382,261 | -51,911,305 |
