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 52,212,125, 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 | 52,212,125 | |
| -1 | -52,212,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,212,125.
Example:
1 x 52,212,125 = 52,212,125
and
-1 x -52,212,125 = 52,212,125
Notice both answers equal 52,212,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,212,125 and divide it by 2:
52,212,125 ÷ 2 = 26,106,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,106,062.5 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 | 52,212,125 | |
| -1 | -52,212,125 |
Now, we try dividing 52,212,125 by 3:
52,212,125 ÷ 3 = 17,404,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,404,041.6667 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 | 52,212,125 | |
| -1 | -52,212,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,212,125 ÷ 4 = 13,053,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,053,031.25 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 | 52,212,125 | |
| -1 | 52,212,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 875 | 59,671 | 298,355 | 417,697 | 1,491,775 | 2,088,485 | 7,458,875 | 10,442,425 | 52,212,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -875 | -59,671 | -298,355 | -417,697 | -1,491,775 | -2,088,485 | -7,458,875 | -10,442,425 | -52,212,125 |
