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 52,400,201, 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 | 52,400,201 | |
| -1 | -52,400,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,400,201.
Example:
1 x 52,400,201 = 52,400,201
and
-1 x -52,400,201 = 52,400,201
Notice both answers equal 52,400,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,400,201 and divide it by 2:
52,400,201 ÷ 2 = 26,200,100.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,200,100.5 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 | 52,400,201 | |
| -1 | -52,400,201 |
Now, we try dividing 52,400,201 by 3:
52,400,201 ÷ 3 = 17,466,733.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,466,733.6667 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 | 52,400,201 | |
| -1 | -52,400,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,400,201 ÷ 4 = 13,100,050.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,100,050.25 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 | 52,400,201 | |
| -1 | 52,400,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 71 | 413 | 497 | 1,787 | 4,189 | 12,509 | 29,323 | 105,433 | 126,877 | 738,031 | 888,139 | 7,485,743 | 52,400,201 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -71 | -413 | -497 | -1,787 | -4,189 | -12,509 | -29,323 | -105,433 | -126,877 | -738,031 | -888,139 | -7,485,743 | -52,400,201 |
