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 52,036,355, 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 | 52,036,355 | |
| -1 | -52,036,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,036,355.
Example:
1 x 52,036,355 = 52,036,355
and
-1 x -52,036,355 = 52,036,355
Notice both answers equal 52,036,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,036,355 and divide it by 2:
52,036,355 ÷ 2 = 26,018,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,018,177.5 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 | 52,036,355 | |
| -1 | -52,036,355 |
Now, we try dividing 52,036,355 by 3:
52,036,355 ÷ 3 = 17,345,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,345,451.6667 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 | 52,036,355 | |
| -1 | -52,036,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,036,355 ÷ 4 = 13,009,088.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,009,088.75 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 | 52,036,355 | |
| -1 | 52,036,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 61 | 305 | 427 | 2,135 | 24,373 | 121,865 | 170,611 | 853,055 | 1,486,753 | 7,433,765 | 10,407,271 | 52,036,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -61 | -305 | -427 | -2,135 | -24,373 | -121,865 | -170,611 | -853,055 | -1,486,753 | -7,433,765 | -10,407,271 | -52,036,355 |
