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 52,443,515, 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 | 52,443,515 | |
| -1 | -52,443,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,443,515.
Example:
1 x 52,443,515 = 52,443,515
and
-1 x -52,443,515 = 52,443,515
Notice both answers equal 52,443,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,443,515 and divide it by 2:
52,443,515 ÷ 2 = 26,221,757.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,221,757.5 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 | 52,443,515 | |
| -1 | -52,443,515 |
Now, we try dividing 52,443,515 by 3:
52,443,515 ÷ 3 = 17,481,171.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,481,171.6667 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 | 52,443,515 | |
| -1 | -52,443,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,443,515 ÷ 4 = 13,110,878.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,110,878.75 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 | 52,443,515 | |
| -1 | 52,443,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 263 | 1,315 | 2,099 | 4,997 | 10,495 | 24,985 | 39,881 | 199,405 | 552,037 | 2,760,185 | 10,488,703 | 52,443,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -263 | -1,315 | -2,099 | -4,997 | -10,495 | -24,985 | -39,881 | -199,405 | -552,037 | -2,760,185 | -10,488,703 | -52,443,515 |
