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 52,462,333, 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 | 52,462,333 | |
| -1 | -52,462,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,462,333.
Example:
1 x 52,462,333 = 52,462,333
and
-1 x -52,462,333 = 52,462,333
Notice both answers equal 52,462,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,462,333 and divide it by 2:
52,462,333 ÷ 2 = 26,231,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,231,166.5 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 | 52,462,333 | |
| -1 | -52,462,333 |
Now, we try dividing 52,462,333 by 3:
52,462,333 ÷ 3 = 17,487,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,487,444.3333 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 | 52,462,333 | |
| -1 | -52,462,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,462,333 ÷ 4 = 13,115,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,115,583.25 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 | 52,462,333 | |
| -1 | 52,462,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 121 | 161 | 253 | 847 | 1,771 | 2,693 | 2,783 | 18,851 | 19,481 | 29,623 | 61,939 | 207,361 | 325,853 | 433,573 | 681,329 | 2,280,971 | 4,769,303 | 7,494,619 | 52,462,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -121 | -161 | -253 | -847 | -1,771 | -2,693 | -2,783 | -18,851 | -19,481 | -29,623 | -61,939 | -207,361 | -325,853 | -433,573 | -681,329 | -2,280,971 | -4,769,303 | -7,494,619 | -52,462,333 |
