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 52,056,445, 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 | 52,056,445 | |
| -1 | -52,056,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,056,445.
Example:
1 x 52,056,445 = 52,056,445
and
-1 x -52,056,445 = 52,056,445
Notice both answers equal 52,056,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,056,445 and divide it by 2:
52,056,445 ÷ 2 = 26,028,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,028,222.5 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 | 52,056,445 | |
| -1 | -52,056,445 |
Now, we try dividing 52,056,445 by 3:
52,056,445 ÷ 3 = 17,352,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,352,148.3333 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 | 52,056,445 | |
| -1 | -52,056,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,056,445 ÷ 4 = 13,014,111.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,014,111.25 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 | 52,056,445 | |
| -1 | 52,056,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 1,505 | 34,589 | 172,945 | 242,123 | 1,210,615 | 1,487,327 | 7,436,635 | 10,411,289 | 52,056,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -1,505 | -34,589 | -172,945 | -242,123 | -1,210,615 | -1,487,327 | -7,436,635 | -10,411,289 | -52,056,445 |
