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 52,447,567, 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 | 52,447,567 | |
| -1 | -52,447,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,447,567.
Example:
1 x 52,447,567 = 52,447,567
and
-1 x -52,447,567 = 52,447,567
Notice both answers equal 52,447,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,447,567 and divide it by 2:
52,447,567 ÷ 2 = 26,223,783.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,223,783.5 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 | 52,447,567 | |
| -1 | -52,447,567 |
Now, we try dividing 52,447,567 by 3:
52,447,567 ÷ 3 = 17,482,522.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,482,522.3333 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 | 52,447,567 | |
| -1 | -52,447,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,447,567 ÷ 4 = 13,111,891.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,111,891.75 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 | 52,447,567 | |
| -1 | 52,447,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 31 | 391 | 527 | 713 | 4,327 | 12,121 | 73,559 | 99,521 | 134,137 | 1,691,857 | 2,280,329 | 3,085,151 | 52,447,567 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -31 | -391 | -527 | -713 | -4,327 | -12,121 | -73,559 | -99,521 | -134,137 | -1,691,857 | -2,280,329 | -3,085,151 | -52,447,567 |
