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 52,455,319, 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 | 52,455,319 | |
| -1 | -52,455,319 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,455,319.
Example:
1 x 52,455,319 = 52,455,319
and
-1 x -52,455,319 = 52,455,319
Notice both answers equal 52,455,319
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,455,319 and divide it by 2:
52,455,319 ÷ 2 = 26,227,659.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,227,659.5 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 | 52,455,319 | |
| -1 | -52,455,319 |
Now, we try dividing 52,455,319 by 3:
52,455,319 ÷ 3 = 17,485,106.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,485,106.3333 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 | 52,455,319 | |
| -1 | -52,455,319 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,455,319 ÷ 4 = 13,113,829.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,113,829.75 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 | 52,455,319 | |
| -1 | 52,455,319 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 53 | 119 | 371 | 901 | 6,307 | 8,317 | 58,219 | 141,389 | 440,801 | 989,723 | 3,085,607 | 7,493,617 | 52,455,319 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -53 | -119 | -371 | -901 | -6,307 | -8,317 | -58,219 | -141,389 | -440,801 | -989,723 | -3,085,607 | -7,493,617 | -52,455,319 |
