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 52,511,173, 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 | 52,511,173 | |
| -1 | -52,511,173 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,511,173.
Example:
1 x 52,511,173 = 52,511,173
and
-1 x -52,511,173 = 52,511,173
Notice both answers equal 52,511,173
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,511,173 and divide it by 2:
52,511,173 ÷ 2 = 26,255,586.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,255,586.5 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 | 52,511,173 | |
| -1 | -52,511,173 |
Now, we try dividing 52,511,173 by 3:
52,511,173 ÷ 3 = 17,503,724.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,503,724.3333 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 | 52,511,173 | |
| -1 | -52,511,173 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,511,173 ÷ 4 = 13,127,793.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,127,793.25 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 | 52,511,173 | |
| -1 | 52,511,173 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 47 | 143 | 169 | 517 | 601 | 611 | 1,859 | 6,611 | 6,721 | 7,813 | 7,943 | 28,247 | 85,943 | 87,373 | 101,569 | 310,717 | 367,211 | 1,117,259 | 4,039,321 | 4,773,743 | 52,511,173 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -47 | -143 | -169 | -517 | -601 | -611 | -1,859 | -6,611 | -6,721 | -7,813 | -7,943 | -28,247 | -85,943 | -87,373 | -101,569 | -310,717 | -367,211 | -1,117,259 | -4,039,321 | -4,773,743 | -52,511,173 |
