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 52,146,083, 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 | 52,146,083 | |
| -1 | -52,146,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,146,083.
Example:
1 x 52,146,083 = 52,146,083
and
-1 x -52,146,083 = 52,146,083
Notice both answers equal 52,146,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,146,083 and divide it by 2:
52,146,083 ÷ 2 = 26,073,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,073,041.5 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 | 52,146,083 | |
| -1 | -52,146,083 |
Now, we try dividing 52,146,083 by 3:
52,146,083 ÷ 3 = 17,382,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,382,027.6667 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 | 52,146,083 | |
| -1 | -52,146,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,146,083 ÷ 4 = 13,036,520.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,036,520.75 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 | 52,146,083 | |
| -1 | 52,146,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 79 | 253 | 869 | 1,817 | 2,609 | 19,987 | 28,699 | 60,007 | 206,111 | 660,077 | 2,267,221 | 4,740,553 | 52,146,083 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -79 | -253 | -869 | -1,817 | -2,609 | -19,987 | -28,699 | -60,007 | -206,111 | -660,077 | -2,267,221 | -4,740,553 | -52,146,083 |
