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 52,006,555, 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 | 52,006,555 | |
| -1 | -52,006,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,006,555.
Example:
1 x 52,006,555 = 52,006,555
and
-1 x -52,006,555 = 52,006,555
Notice both answers equal 52,006,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,006,555 and divide it by 2:
52,006,555 ÷ 2 = 26,003,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,003,277.5 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 | 52,006,555 | |
| -1 | -52,006,555 |
Now, we try dividing 52,006,555 by 3:
52,006,555 ÷ 3 = 17,335,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,335,518.3333 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 | 52,006,555 | |
| -1 | -52,006,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,006,555 ÷ 4 = 13,001,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,001,638.75 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 | 52,006,555 | |
| -1 | 52,006,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 113 | 415 | 565 | 1,109 | 5,545 | 9,379 | 46,895 | 92,047 | 125,317 | 460,235 | 626,585 | 10,401,311 | 52,006,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -113 | -415 | -565 | -1,109 | -5,545 | -9,379 | -46,895 | -92,047 | -125,317 | -460,235 | -626,585 | -10,401,311 | -52,006,555 |
