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 52,283,117, 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 | 52,283,117 | |
| -1 | -52,283,117 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,283,117.
Example:
1 x 52,283,117 = 52,283,117
and
-1 x -52,283,117 = 52,283,117
Notice both answers equal 52,283,117
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,283,117 and divide it by 2:
52,283,117 ÷ 2 = 26,141,558.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,141,558.5 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 | 52,283,117 | |
| -1 | -52,283,117 |
Now, we try dividing 52,283,117 by 3:
52,283,117 ÷ 3 = 17,427,705.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,427,705.6667 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 | 52,283,117 | |
| -1 | -52,283,117 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,283,117 ÷ 4 = 13,070,779.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,070,779.25 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 | 52,283,117 | |
| -1 | 52,283,117 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 181 | 437 | 661 | 3,439 | 4,163 | 12,559 | 15,203 | 79,097 | 119,641 | 288,857 | 2,273,179 | 2,751,743 | 52,283,117 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -181 | -437 | -661 | -3,439 | -4,163 | -12,559 | -15,203 | -79,097 | -119,641 | -288,857 | -2,273,179 | -2,751,743 | -52,283,117 |
