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 52,315,613, 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 | 52,315,613 | |
| -1 | -52,315,613 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,315,613.
Example:
1 x 52,315,613 = 52,315,613
and
-1 x -52,315,613 = 52,315,613
Notice both answers equal 52,315,613
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,315,613 and divide it by 2:
52,315,613 ÷ 2 = 26,157,806.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,157,806.5 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 | 52,315,613 | |
| -1 | -52,315,613 |
Now, we try dividing 52,315,613 by 3:
52,315,613 ÷ 3 = 17,438,537.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,438,537.6667 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 | 52,315,613 | |
| -1 | -52,315,613 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,315,613 ÷ 4 = 13,078,903.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,078,903.25 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 | 52,315,613 | |
| -1 | 52,315,613 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 61 | 119 | 427 | 1,037 | 7,207 | 7,259 | 50,449 | 122,519 | 439,627 | 857,633 | 3,077,389 | 7,473,659 | 52,315,613 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -61 | -119 | -427 | -1,037 | -7,207 | -7,259 | -50,449 | -122,519 | -439,627 | -857,633 | -3,077,389 | -7,473,659 | -52,315,613 |
