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 52,333,355, 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 | 52,333,355 | |
| -1 | -52,333,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,333,355.
Example:
1 x 52,333,355 = 52,333,355
and
-1 x -52,333,355 = 52,333,355
Notice both answers equal 52,333,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,333,355 and divide it by 2:
52,333,355 ÷ 2 = 26,166,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,166,677.5 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 | 52,333,355 | |
| -1 | -52,333,355 |
Now, we try dividing 52,333,355 by 3:
52,333,355 ÷ 3 = 17,444,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,444,451.6667 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 | 52,333,355 | |
| -1 | -52,333,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,333,355 ÷ 4 = 13,083,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,083,338.75 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 | 52,333,355 | |
| -1 | 52,333,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 457 | 619 | 2,285 | 3,095 | 16,909 | 22,903 | 84,545 | 114,515 | 282,883 | 1,414,415 | 10,466,671 | 52,333,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -457 | -619 | -2,285 | -3,095 | -16,909 | -22,903 | -84,545 | -114,515 | -282,883 | -1,414,415 | -10,466,671 | -52,333,355 |
