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 52,068,535, 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 | 52,068,535 | |
| -1 | -52,068,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,068,535.
Example:
1 x 52,068,535 = 52,068,535
and
-1 x -52,068,535 = 52,068,535
Notice both answers equal 52,068,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,068,535 and divide it by 2:
52,068,535 ÷ 2 = 26,034,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,034,267.5 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 | 52,068,535 | |
| -1 | -52,068,535 |
Now, we try dividing 52,068,535 by 3:
52,068,535 ÷ 3 = 17,356,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,356,178.3333 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 | 52,068,535 | |
| -1 | -52,068,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,068,535 ÷ 4 = 13,017,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,017,133.75 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 | 52,068,535 | |
| -1 | 52,068,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 397 | 1,543 | 1,985 | 6,749 | 7,715 | 26,231 | 33,745 | 131,155 | 612,571 | 3,062,855 | 10,413,707 | 52,068,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -397 | -1,543 | -1,985 | -6,749 | -7,715 | -26,231 | -33,745 | -131,155 | -612,571 | -3,062,855 | -10,413,707 | -52,068,535 |
