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 52,053,133, 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 | 52,053,133 | |
| -1 | -52,053,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,053,133.
Example:
1 x 52,053,133 = 52,053,133
and
-1 x -52,053,133 = 52,053,133
Notice both answers equal 52,053,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,053,133 and divide it by 2:
52,053,133 ÷ 2 = 26,026,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,026,566.5 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 | 52,053,133 | |
| -1 | -52,053,133 |
Now, we try dividing 52,053,133 by 3:
52,053,133 ÷ 3 = 17,351,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,351,044.3333 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 | 52,053,133 | |
| -1 | -52,053,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,053,133 ÷ 4 = 13,013,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,013,283.25 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 | 52,053,133 | |
| -1 | 52,053,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 187 | 251 | 1,109 | 2,761 | 4,267 | 12,199 | 18,853 | 46,937 | 207,383 | 278,359 | 3,061,949 | 4,732,103 | 52,053,133 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -187 | -251 | -1,109 | -2,761 | -4,267 | -12,199 | -18,853 | -46,937 | -207,383 | -278,359 | -3,061,949 | -4,732,103 | -52,053,133 |
