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 52,335,671, 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 | 52,335,671 | |
| -1 | -52,335,671 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,335,671.
Example:
1 x 52,335,671 = 52,335,671
and
-1 x -52,335,671 = 52,335,671
Notice both answers equal 52,335,671
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,335,671 and divide it by 2:
52,335,671 ÷ 2 = 26,167,835.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,167,835.5 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 | 52,335,671 | |
| -1 | -52,335,671 |
Now, we try dividing 52,335,671 by 3:
52,335,671 ÷ 3 = 17,445,223.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,445,223.6667 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 | 52,335,671 | |
| -1 | -52,335,671 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,335,671 ÷ 4 = 13,083,917.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,083,917.75 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 | 52,335,671 | |
| -1 | 52,335,671 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 73 | 97 | 389 | 1,387 | 1,843 | 7,081 | 7,391 | 28,397 | 37,733 | 134,539 | 539,543 | 716,927 | 2,754,509 | 52,335,671 |
| -1 | -19 | -73 | -97 | -389 | -1,387 | -1,843 | -7,081 | -7,391 | -28,397 | -37,733 | -134,539 | -539,543 | -716,927 | -2,754,509 | -52,335,671 |
