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 52,134,509, 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 | 52,134,509 | |
| -1 | -52,134,509 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,134,509.
Example:
1 x 52,134,509 = 52,134,509
and
-1 x -52,134,509 = 52,134,509
Notice both answers equal 52,134,509
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,134,509 and divide it by 2:
52,134,509 ÷ 2 = 26,067,254.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,067,254.5 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 | 52,134,509 | |
| -1 | -52,134,509 |
Now, we try dividing 52,134,509 by 3:
52,134,509 ÷ 3 = 17,378,169.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,378,169.6667 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 | 52,134,509 | |
| -1 | -52,134,509 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,134,509 ÷ 4 = 13,033,627.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,033,627.25 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 | 52,134,509 | |
| -1 | 52,134,509 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 67 | 89 | 469 | 623 | 1,249 | 5,963 | 8,743 | 41,741 | 83,683 | 111,161 | 585,781 | 778,127 | 7,447,787 | 52,134,509 |
| -1 | -7 | -67 | -89 | -469 | -623 | -1,249 | -5,963 | -8,743 | -41,741 | -83,683 | -111,161 | -585,781 | -778,127 | -7,447,787 | -52,134,509 |
