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 52,135,805, 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 | 52,135,805 | |
| -1 | -52,135,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,135,805.
Example:
1 x 52,135,805 = 52,135,805
and
-1 x -52,135,805 = 52,135,805
Notice both answers equal 52,135,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,135,805 and divide it by 2:
52,135,805 ÷ 2 = 26,067,902.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,067,902.5 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 | 52,135,805 | |
| -1 | -52,135,805 |
Now, we try dividing 52,135,805 by 3:
52,135,805 ÷ 3 = 17,378,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,378,601.6667 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 | 52,135,805 | |
| -1 | -52,135,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,135,805 ÷ 4 = 13,033,951.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,033,951.25 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 | 52,135,805 | |
| -1 | 52,135,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 205 | 263 | 967 | 1,315 | 4,835 | 10,783 | 39,647 | 53,915 | 198,235 | 254,321 | 1,271,605 | 10,427,161 | 52,135,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -205 | -263 | -967 | -1,315 | -4,835 | -10,783 | -39,647 | -53,915 | -198,235 | -254,321 | -1,271,605 | -10,427,161 | -52,135,805 |
