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 52,404,415, 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 | 52,404,415 | |
| -1 | -52,404,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,404,415.
Example:
1 x 52,404,415 = 52,404,415
and
-1 x -52,404,415 = 52,404,415
Notice both answers equal 52,404,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,404,415 and divide it by 2:
52,404,415 ÷ 2 = 26,202,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,202,207.5 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 | 52,404,415 | |
| -1 | -52,404,415 |
Now, we try dividing 52,404,415 by 3:
52,404,415 ÷ 3 = 17,468,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,468,138.3333 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 | 52,404,415 | |
| -1 | -52,404,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,404,415 ÷ 4 = 13,101,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,101,103.75 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 | 52,404,415 | |
| -1 | 52,404,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 48,299 | 241,495 | 338,093 | 1,497,269 | 1,690,465 | 7,486,345 | 10,480,883 | 52,404,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -48,299 | -241,495 | -338,093 | -1,497,269 | -1,690,465 | -7,486,345 | -10,480,883 | -52,404,415 |
