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 52,234,435, 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 | 52,234,435 | |
| -1 | -52,234,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,234,435.
Example:
1 x 52,234,435 = 52,234,435
and
-1 x -52,234,435 = 52,234,435
Notice both answers equal 52,234,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,234,435 and divide it by 2:
52,234,435 ÷ 2 = 26,117,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,117,217.5 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 | 52,234,435 | |
| -1 | -52,234,435 |
Now, we try dividing 52,234,435 by 3:
52,234,435 ÷ 3 = 17,411,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,411,478.3333 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 | 52,234,435 | |
| -1 | -52,234,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,234,435 ÷ 4 = 13,058,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,058,608.75 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 | 52,234,435 | |
| -1 | 52,234,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 109 | 545 | 1,199 | 5,995 | 8,713 | 43,565 | 95,843 | 479,215 | 949,717 | 4,748,585 | 10,446,887 | 52,234,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -109 | -545 | -1,199 | -5,995 | -8,713 | -43,565 | -95,843 | -479,215 | -949,717 | -4,748,585 | -10,446,887 | -52,234,435 |
