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 52,464,665, 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 | 52,464,665 | |
| -1 | -52,464,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,464,665.
Example:
1 x 52,464,665 = 52,464,665
and
-1 x -52,464,665 = 52,464,665
Notice both answers equal 52,464,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,464,665 and divide it by 2:
52,464,665 ÷ 2 = 26,232,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,232,332.5 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 | 52,464,665 | |
| -1 | -52,464,665 |
Now, we try dividing 52,464,665 by 3:
52,464,665 ÷ 3 = 17,488,221.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,488,221.6667 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 | 52,464,665 | |
| -1 | -52,464,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,464,665 ÷ 4 = 13,116,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,116,166.25 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 | 52,464,665 | |
| -1 | 52,464,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 347 | 1,735 | 2,749 | 3,817 | 13,745 | 19,085 | 30,239 | 151,195 | 953,903 | 4,769,515 | 10,492,933 | 52,464,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -347 | -1,735 | -2,749 | -3,817 | -13,745 | -19,085 | -30,239 | -151,195 | -953,903 | -4,769,515 | -10,492,933 | -52,464,665 |
