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 52,480,805, 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 | 52,480,805 | |
| -1 | -52,480,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,480,805.
Example:
1 x 52,480,805 = 52,480,805
and
-1 x -52,480,805 = 52,480,805
Notice both answers equal 52,480,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,480,805 and divide it by 2:
52,480,805 ÷ 2 = 26,240,402.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,240,402.5 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 | 52,480,805 | |
| -1 | -52,480,805 |
Now, we try dividing 52,480,805 by 3:
52,480,805 ÷ 3 = 17,493,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,493,601.6667 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 | 52,480,805 | |
| -1 | -52,480,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,480,805 ÷ 4 = 13,120,201.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,120,201.25 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 | 52,480,805 | |
| -1 | 52,480,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 151 | 755 | 1,963 | 5,347 | 9,815 | 26,735 | 69,511 | 347,555 | 807,397 | 4,036,985 | 10,496,161 | 52,480,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -151 | -755 | -1,963 | -5,347 | -9,815 | -26,735 | -69,511 | -347,555 | -807,397 | -4,036,985 | -10,496,161 | -52,480,805 |
