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 52,011,497, 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 | 52,011,497 | |
| -1 | -52,011,497 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,011,497.
Example:
1 x 52,011,497 = 52,011,497
and
-1 x -52,011,497 = 52,011,497
Notice both answers equal 52,011,497
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,011,497 and divide it by 2:
52,011,497 ÷ 2 = 26,005,748.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,005,748.5 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 | 52,011,497 | |
| -1 | -52,011,497 |
Now, we try dividing 52,011,497 by 3:
52,011,497 ÷ 3 = 17,337,165.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,337,165.6667 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 | 52,011,497 | |
| -1 | -52,011,497 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,011,497 ÷ 4 = 13,002,874.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,002,874.25 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 | 52,011,497 | |
| -1 | 52,011,497 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 67 | 97 | 151 | 3,551 | 5,141 | 6,499 | 8,003 | 10,117 | 14,647 | 344,447 | 536,201 | 776,291 | 981,349 | 52,011,497 |
| -1 | -53 | -67 | -97 | -151 | -3,551 | -5,141 | -6,499 | -8,003 | -10,117 | -14,647 | -344,447 | -536,201 | -776,291 | -981,349 | -52,011,497 |
