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 52,465,735, 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 | 52,465,735 | |
| -1 | -52,465,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,465,735.
Example:
1 x 52,465,735 = 52,465,735
and
-1 x -52,465,735 = 52,465,735
Notice both answers equal 52,465,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,465,735 and divide it by 2:
52,465,735 ÷ 2 = 26,232,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,232,867.5 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 | 52,465,735 | |
| -1 | -52,465,735 |
Now, we try dividing 52,465,735 by 3:
52,465,735 ÷ 3 = 17,488,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,488,578.3333 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 | 52,465,735 | |
| -1 | -52,465,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,465,735 ÷ 4 = 13,116,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,116,433.75 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 | 52,465,735 | |
| -1 | 52,465,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,049 | 1,429 | 5,245 | 7,145 | 7,343 | 10,003 | 36,715 | 50,015 | 1,499,021 | 7,495,105 | 10,493,147 | 52,465,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,049 | -1,429 | -5,245 | -7,145 | -7,343 | -10,003 | -36,715 | -50,015 | -1,499,021 | -7,495,105 | -10,493,147 | -52,465,735 |
