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 52,337,615, 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 | 52,337,615 | |
| -1 | -52,337,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,337,615.
Example:
1 x 52,337,615 = 52,337,615
and
-1 x -52,337,615 = 52,337,615
Notice both answers equal 52,337,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,337,615 and divide it by 2:
52,337,615 ÷ 2 = 26,168,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,168,807.5 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 | 52,337,615 | |
| -1 | -52,337,615 |
Now, we try dividing 52,337,615 by 3:
52,337,615 ÷ 3 = 17,445,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,445,871.6667 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 | 52,337,615 | |
| -1 | -52,337,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,337,615 ÷ 4 = 13,084,403.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,084,403.75 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 | 52,337,615 | |
| -1 | 52,337,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 499 | 1,907 | 2,495 | 5,489 | 9,535 | 20,977 | 27,445 | 104,885 | 951,593 | 4,757,965 | 10,467,523 | 52,337,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -499 | -1,907 | -2,495 | -5,489 | -9,535 | -20,977 | -27,445 | -104,885 | -951,593 | -4,757,965 | -10,467,523 | -52,337,615 |
