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 52,302,055, 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 | 52,302,055 | |
| -1 | -52,302,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,302,055.
Example:
1 x 52,302,055 = 52,302,055
and
-1 x -52,302,055 = 52,302,055
Notice both answers equal 52,302,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,302,055 and divide it by 2:
52,302,055 ÷ 2 = 26,151,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,151,027.5 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 | 52,302,055 | |
| -1 | -52,302,055 |
Now, we try dividing 52,302,055 by 3:
52,302,055 ÷ 3 = 17,434,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,434,018.3333 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 | 52,302,055 | |
| -1 | -52,302,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,302,055 ÷ 4 = 13,075,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,075,513.75 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 | 52,302,055 | |
| -1 | 52,302,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 307 | 1,535 | 2,621 | 3,991 | 13,105 | 19,955 | 34,073 | 170,365 | 804,647 | 4,023,235 | 10,460,411 | 52,302,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -307 | -1,535 | -2,621 | -3,991 | -13,105 | -19,955 | -34,073 | -170,365 | -804,647 | -4,023,235 | -10,460,411 | -52,302,055 |
