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 52,447,577, 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 | 52,447,577 | |
| -1 | -52,447,577 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,447,577.
Example:
1 x 52,447,577 = 52,447,577
and
-1 x -52,447,577 = 52,447,577
Notice both answers equal 52,447,577
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,447,577 and divide it by 2:
52,447,577 ÷ 2 = 26,223,788.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,223,788.5 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 | 52,447,577 | |
| -1 | -52,447,577 |
Now, we try dividing 52,447,577 by 3:
52,447,577 ÷ 3 = 17,482,525.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,482,525.6667 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 | 52,447,577 | |
| -1 | -52,447,577 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,447,577 ÷ 4 = 13,111,894.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,111,894.25 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 | 52,447,577 | |
| -1 | 52,447,577 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 157 | 1,099 | 2,041 | 3,671 | 14,287 | 25,697 | 47,723 | 334,061 | 576,347 | 4,034,429 | 7,492,511 | 52,447,577 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -157 | -1,099 | -2,041 | -3,671 | -14,287 | -25,697 | -47,723 | -334,061 | -576,347 | -4,034,429 | -7,492,511 | -52,447,577 |
