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 52,341,113, 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 | 52,341,113 | |
| -1 | -52,341,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,341,113.
Example:
1 x 52,341,113 = 52,341,113
and
-1 x -52,341,113 = 52,341,113
Notice both answers equal 52,341,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,341,113 and divide it by 2:
52,341,113 ÷ 2 = 26,170,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,170,556.5 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 | 52,341,113 | |
| -1 | -52,341,113 |
Now, we try dividing 52,341,113 by 3:
52,341,113 ÷ 3 = 17,447,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,447,037.6667 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 | 52,341,113 | |
| -1 | -52,341,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,341,113 ÷ 4 = 13,085,278.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,085,278.25 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 | 52,341,113 | |
| -1 | 52,341,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 31 | 187 | 341 | 527 | 5,797 | 9,029 | 99,319 | 153,493 | 279,899 | 1,688,423 | 3,078,889 | 4,758,283 | 52,341,113 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -31 | -187 | -341 | -527 | -5,797 | -9,029 | -99,319 | -153,493 | -279,899 | -1,688,423 | -3,078,889 | -4,758,283 | -52,341,113 |
