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 52,405,717, 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 | 52,405,717 | |
| -1 | -52,405,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,405,717.
Example:
1 x 52,405,717 = 52,405,717
and
-1 x -52,405,717 = 52,405,717
Notice both answers equal 52,405,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,405,717 and divide it by 2:
52,405,717 ÷ 2 = 26,202,858.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,202,858.5 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 | 52,405,717 | |
| -1 | -52,405,717 |
Now, we try dividing 52,405,717 by 3:
52,405,717 ÷ 3 = 17,468,572.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,468,572.3333 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 | 52,405,717 | |
| -1 | -52,405,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,405,717 ÷ 4 = 13,101,429.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,101,429.25 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 | 52,405,717 | |
| -1 | 52,405,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 31 | 91 | 169 | 217 | 403 | 1,183 | 1,429 | 2,821 | 5,239 | 10,003 | 18,577 | 36,673 | 44,299 | 130,039 | 241,501 | 310,093 | 575,887 | 1,690,507 | 4,031,209 | 7,486,531 | 52,405,717 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -31 | -91 | -169 | -217 | -403 | -1,183 | -1,429 | -2,821 | -5,239 | -10,003 | -18,577 | -36,673 | -44,299 | -130,039 | -241,501 | -310,093 | -575,887 | -1,690,507 | -4,031,209 | -7,486,531 | -52,405,717 |
