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 52,080,353, 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 | 52,080,353 | |
| -1 | -52,080,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,080,353.
Example:
1 x 52,080,353 = 52,080,353
and
-1 x -52,080,353 = 52,080,353
Notice both answers equal 52,080,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,080,353 and divide it by 2:
52,080,353 ÷ 2 = 26,040,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,040,176.5 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 | 52,080,353 | |
| -1 | -52,080,353 |
Now, we try dividing 52,080,353 by 3:
52,080,353 ÷ 3 = 17,360,117.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,360,117.6667 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 | 52,080,353 | |
| -1 | -52,080,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,080,353 ÷ 4 = 13,020,088.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,020,088.25 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 | 52,080,353 | |
| -1 | 52,080,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 151 | 559 | 617 | 1,963 | 6,493 | 8,021 | 26,531 | 84,409 | 93,167 | 344,903 | 1,211,171 | 4,006,181 | 52,080,353 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -151 | -559 | -617 | -1,963 | -6,493 | -8,021 | -26,531 | -84,409 | -93,167 | -344,903 | -1,211,171 | -4,006,181 | -52,080,353 |
