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 52,050,455, 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 | 52,050,455 | |
| -1 | -52,050,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,050,455.
Example:
1 x 52,050,455 = 52,050,455
and
-1 x -52,050,455 = 52,050,455
Notice both answers equal 52,050,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,050,455 and divide it by 2:
52,050,455 ÷ 2 = 26,025,227.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,025,227.5 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 | 52,050,455 | |
| -1 | -52,050,455 |
Now, we try dividing 52,050,455 by 3:
52,050,455 ÷ 3 = 17,350,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,350,151.6667 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 | 52,050,455 | |
| -1 | -52,050,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,050,455 ÷ 4 = 13,012,613.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,012,613.75 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 | 52,050,455 | |
| -1 | 52,050,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 151 | 355 | 755 | 971 | 4,855 | 10,721 | 53,605 | 68,941 | 146,621 | 344,705 | 733,105 | 10,410,091 | 52,050,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -151 | -355 | -755 | -971 | -4,855 | -10,721 | -53,605 | -68,941 | -146,621 | -344,705 | -733,105 | -10,410,091 | -52,050,455 |
