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 52,425,841, 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 | 52,425,841 | |
| -1 | -52,425,841 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,425,841.
Example:
1 x 52,425,841 = 52,425,841
and
-1 x -52,425,841 = 52,425,841
Notice both answers equal 52,425,841
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,425,841 and divide it by 2:
52,425,841 ÷ 2 = 26,212,920.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,212,920.5 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 | 52,425,841 | |
| -1 | -52,425,841 |
Now, we try dividing 52,425,841 by 3:
52,425,841 ÷ 3 = 17,475,280.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,475,280.3333 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 | 52,425,841 | |
| -1 | -52,425,841 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,425,841 ÷ 4 = 13,106,460.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,106,460.25 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 | 52,425,841 | |
| -1 | 52,425,841 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 151 | 221 | 1,571 | 1,963 | 2,567 | 20,423 | 26,707 | 33,371 | 237,221 | 347,191 | 3,083,873 | 4,032,757 | 52,425,841 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -151 | -221 | -1,571 | -1,963 | -2,567 | -20,423 | -26,707 | -33,371 | -237,221 | -347,191 | -3,083,873 | -4,032,757 | -52,425,841 |
