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 52,402,441, 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 | 52,402,441 | |
| -1 | -52,402,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,402,441.
Example:
1 x 52,402,441 = 52,402,441
and
-1 x -52,402,441 = 52,402,441
Notice both answers equal 52,402,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,402,441 and divide it by 2:
52,402,441 ÷ 2 = 26,201,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,201,220.5 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 | 52,402,441 | |
| -1 | -52,402,441 |
Now, we try dividing 52,402,441 by 3:
52,402,441 ÷ 3 = 17,467,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,467,480.3333 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 | 52,402,441 | |
| -1 | -52,402,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,402,441 ÷ 4 = 13,100,610.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,100,610.25 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 | 52,402,441 | |
| -1 | 52,402,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 2,093 | 25,037 | 175,259 | 325,481 | 575,851 | 2,278,367 | 4,030,957 | 7,486,063 | 52,402,441 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -2,093 | -25,037 | -175,259 | -325,481 | -575,851 | -2,278,367 | -4,030,957 | -7,486,063 | -52,402,441 |
