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 52,447,573, 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 | 52,447,573 | |
| -1 | -52,447,573 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,447,573.
Example:
1 x 52,447,573 = 52,447,573
and
-1 x -52,447,573 = 52,447,573
Notice both answers equal 52,447,573
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,447,573 and divide it by 2:
52,447,573 ÷ 2 = 26,223,786.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,223,786.5 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 | 52,447,573 | |
| -1 | -52,447,573 |
Now, we try dividing 52,447,573 by 3:
52,447,573 ÷ 3 = 17,482,524.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,482,524.3333 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 | 52,447,573 | |
| -1 | -52,447,573 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,447,573 ÷ 4 = 13,111,893.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,111,893.25 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 | 52,447,573 | |
| -1 | 52,447,573 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 43 | 137 | 307 | 1,247 | 3,973 | 5,891 | 8,903 | 13,201 | 42,059 | 170,839 | 382,829 | 1,219,711 | 1,808,537 | 52,447,573 |
| -1 | -29 | -43 | -137 | -307 | -1,247 | -3,973 | -5,891 | -8,903 | -13,201 | -42,059 | -170,839 | -382,829 | -1,219,711 | -1,808,537 | -52,447,573 |
