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 52,340,563, 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 | 52,340,563 | |
| -1 | -52,340,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,340,563.
Example:
1 x 52,340,563 = 52,340,563
and
-1 x -52,340,563 = 52,340,563
Notice both answers equal 52,340,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,340,563 and divide it by 2:
52,340,563 ÷ 2 = 26,170,281.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,170,281.5 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 | 52,340,563 | |
| -1 | -52,340,563 |
Now, we try dividing 52,340,563 by 3:
52,340,563 ÷ 3 = 17,446,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,446,854.3333 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 | 52,340,563 | |
| -1 | -52,340,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,340,563 ÷ 4 = 13,085,140.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,085,140.75 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 | 52,340,563 | |
| -1 | 52,340,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 47 | 319 | 517 | 1,363 | 3,491 | 14,993 | 38,401 | 101,239 | 164,077 | 1,113,629 | 1,804,847 | 4,758,233 | 52,340,563 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -47 | -319 | -517 | -1,363 | -3,491 | -14,993 | -38,401 | -101,239 | -164,077 | -1,113,629 | -1,804,847 | -4,758,233 | -52,340,563 |
