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 52,511,041, 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 | 52,511,041 | |
| -1 | -52,511,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,511,041.
Example:
1 x 52,511,041 = 52,511,041
and
-1 x -52,511,041 = 52,511,041
Notice both answers equal 52,511,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,511,041 and divide it by 2:
52,511,041 ÷ 2 = 26,255,520.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,255,520.5 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 | 52,511,041 | |
| -1 | -52,511,041 |
Now, we try dividing 52,511,041 by 3:
52,511,041 ÷ 3 = 17,503,680.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,503,680.3333 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 | 52,511,041 | |
| -1 | -52,511,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,511,041 ÷ 4 = 13,127,760.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,127,760.25 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 | 52,511,041 | |
| -1 | 52,511,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 43 | 209 | 473 | 817 | 5,843 | 8,987 | 64,273 | 111,017 | 251,249 | 1,221,187 | 2,763,739 | 4,773,731 | 52,511,041 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -43 | -209 | -473 | -817 | -5,843 | -8,987 | -64,273 | -111,017 | -251,249 | -1,221,187 | -2,763,739 | -4,773,731 | -52,511,041 |
