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 52,410,305, 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 | 52,410,305 | |
| -1 | -52,410,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,410,305.
Example:
1 x 52,410,305 = 52,410,305
and
-1 x -52,410,305 = 52,410,305
Notice both answers equal 52,410,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,410,305 and divide it by 2:
52,410,305 ÷ 2 = 26,205,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,205,152.5 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 | 52,410,305 | |
| -1 | -52,410,305 |
Now, we try dividing 52,410,305 by 3:
52,410,305 ÷ 3 = 17,470,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,470,101.6667 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 | 52,410,305 | |
| -1 | -52,410,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,410,305 ÷ 4 = 13,102,576.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,102,576.25 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 | 52,410,305 | |
| -1 | 52,410,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 155 | 179 | 895 | 1,889 | 5,549 | 9,445 | 27,745 | 58,559 | 292,795 | 338,131 | 1,690,655 | 10,482,061 | 52,410,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -155 | -179 | -895 | -1,889 | -5,549 | -9,445 | -27,745 | -58,559 | -292,795 | -338,131 | -1,690,655 | -10,482,061 | -52,410,305 |
