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 52,012,375, 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 | 52,012,375 | |
| -1 | -52,012,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,012,375.
Example:
1 x 52,012,375 = 52,012,375
and
-1 x -52,012,375 = 52,012,375
Notice both answers equal 52,012,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,012,375 and divide it by 2:
52,012,375 ÷ 2 = 26,006,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,006,187.5 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 | 52,012,375 | |
| -1 | -52,012,375 |
Now, we try dividing 52,012,375 by 3:
52,012,375 ÷ 3 = 17,337,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,337,458.3333 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 | 52,012,375 | |
| -1 | -52,012,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,012,375 ÷ 4 = 13,003,093.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,003,093.75 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 | 52,012,375 | |
| -1 | 52,012,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 239 | 1,195 | 1,741 | 5,975 | 8,705 | 29,875 | 43,525 | 217,625 | 416,099 | 2,080,495 | 10,402,475 | 52,012,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -239 | -1,195 | -1,741 | -5,975 | -8,705 | -29,875 | -43,525 | -217,625 | -416,099 | -2,080,495 | -10,402,475 | -52,012,375 |
