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 52,040,413, 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 | 52,040,413 | |
| -1 | -52,040,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,040,413.
Example:
1 x 52,040,413 = 52,040,413
and
-1 x -52,040,413 = 52,040,413
Notice both answers equal 52,040,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,040,413 and divide it by 2:
52,040,413 ÷ 2 = 26,020,206.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,020,206.5 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 | 52,040,413 | |
| -1 | -52,040,413 |
Now, we try dividing 52,040,413 by 3:
52,040,413 ÷ 3 = 17,346,804.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,346,804.3333 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 | 52,040,413 | |
| -1 | -52,040,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,040,413 ÷ 4 = 13,010,103.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,010,103.25 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 | 52,040,413 | |
| -1 | 52,040,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 107 | 541 | 899 | 3,103 | 3,317 | 15,689 | 16,771 | 57,887 | 96,193 | 486,359 | 1,678,723 | 1,794,497 | 52,040,413 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -107 | -541 | -899 | -3,103 | -3,317 | -15,689 | -16,771 | -57,887 | -96,193 | -486,359 | -1,678,723 | -1,794,497 | -52,040,413 |
