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 52,356,145, 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 | 52,356,145 | |
| -1 | -52,356,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,356,145.
Example:
1 x 52,356,145 = 52,356,145
and
-1 x -52,356,145 = 52,356,145
Notice both answers equal 52,356,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,356,145 and divide it by 2:
52,356,145 ÷ 2 = 26,178,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,178,072.5 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 | 52,356,145 | |
| -1 | -52,356,145 |
Now, we try dividing 52,356,145 by 3:
52,356,145 ÷ 3 = 17,452,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,452,048.3333 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 | 52,356,145 | |
| -1 | -52,356,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,356,145 ÷ 4 = 13,089,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,089,036.25 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 | 52,356,145 | |
| -1 | 52,356,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 335 | 373 | 419 | 1,865 | 2,095 | 24,991 | 28,073 | 124,955 | 140,365 | 156,287 | 781,435 | 10,471,229 | 52,356,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -335 | -373 | -419 | -1,865 | -2,095 | -24,991 | -28,073 | -124,955 | -140,365 | -156,287 | -781,435 | -10,471,229 | -52,356,145 |
