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 52,225,037, 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 | 52,225,037 | |
| -1 | -52,225,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,225,037.
Example:
1 x 52,225,037 = 52,225,037
and
-1 x -52,225,037 = 52,225,037
Notice both answers equal 52,225,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,225,037 and divide it by 2:
52,225,037 ÷ 2 = 26,112,518.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,112,518.5 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 | 52,225,037 | |
| -1 | -52,225,037 |
Now, we try dividing 52,225,037 by 3:
52,225,037 ÷ 3 = 17,408,345.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,408,345.6667 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 | 52,225,037 | |
| -1 | -52,225,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,225,037 ÷ 4 = 13,056,259.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,056,259.25 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 | 52,225,037 | |
| -1 | 52,225,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 47 | 163 | 401 | 799 | 2,771 | 6,817 | 7,661 | 18,847 | 65,363 | 130,237 | 320,399 | 1,111,171 | 3,072,061 | 52,225,037 |
| -1 | -17 | -47 | -163 | -401 | -799 | -2,771 | -6,817 | -7,661 | -18,847 | -65,363 | -130,237 | -320,399 | -1,111,171 | -3,072,061 | -52,225,037 |
