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 52,027,265, 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 | 52,027,265 | |
| -1 | -52,027,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,027,265.
Example:
1 x 52,027,265 = 52,027,265
and
-1 x -52,027,265 = 52,027,265
Notice both answers equal 52,027,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,027,265 and divide it by 2:
52,027,265 ÷ 2 = 26,013,632.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,013,632.5 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 | 52,027,265 | |
| -1 | -52,027,265 |
Now, we try dividing 52,027,265 by 3:
52,027,265 ÷ 3 = 17,342,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,342,421.6667 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 | 52,027,265 | |
| -1 | -52,027,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,027,265 ÷ 4 = 13,006,816.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,006,816.25 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 | 52,027,265 | |
| -1 | 52,027,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 227 | 1,135 | 1,993 | 5,221 | 9,965 | 26,105 | 45,839 | 229,195 | 452,411 | 2,262,055 | 10,405,453 | 52,027,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -227 | -1,135 | -1,993 | -5,221 | -9,965 | -26,105 | -45,839 | -229,195 | -452,411 | -2,262,055 | -10,405,453 | -52,027,265 |
