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 52,331,069, 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 | 52,331,069 | |
| -1 | -52,331,069 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,331,069.
Example:
1 x 52,331,069 = 52,331,069
and
-1 x -52,331,069 = 52,331,069
Notice both answers equal 52,331,069
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,331,069 and divide it by 2:
52,331,069 ÷ 2 = 26,165,534.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,165,534.5 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 | 52,331,069 | |
| -1 | -52,331,069 |
Now, we try dividing 52,331,069 by 3:
52,331,069 ÷ 3 = 17,443,689.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,443,689.6667 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 | 52,331,069 | |
| -1 | -52,331,069 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,331,069 ÷ 4 = 13,082,767.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,082,767.25 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 | 52,331,069 | |
| -1 | 52,331,069 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 47 | 49 | 217 | 329 | 733 | 1,457 | 1,519 | 2,303 | 5,131 | 10,199 | 22,723 | 34,451 | 35,917 | 71,393 | 159,061 | 241,157 | 1,067,981 | 1,113,427 | 1,688,099 | 7,475,867 | 52,331,069 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -47 | -49 | -217 | -329 | -733 | -1,457 | -1,519 | -2,303 | -5,131 | -10,199 | -22,723 | -34,451 | -35,917 | -71,393 | -159,061 | -241,157 | -1,067,981 | -1,113,427 | -1,688,099 | -7,475,867 | -52,331,069 |
