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 52,514,125, 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 | 52,514,125 | |
| -1 | -52,514,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,514,125.
Example:
1 x 52,514,125 = 52,514,125
and
-1 x -52,514,125 = 52,514,125
Notice both answers equal 52,514,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,514,125 and divide it by 2:
52,514,125 ÷ 2 = 26,257,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,257,062.5 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 | 52,514,125 | |
| -1 | -52,514,125 |
Now, we try dividing 52,514,125 by 3:
52,514,125 ÷ 3 = 17,504,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,504,708.3333 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 | 52,514,125 | |
| -1 | -52,514,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,514,125 ÷ 4 = 13,128,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,128,531.25 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 | 52,514,125 | |
| -1 | 52,514,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 179 | 895 | 2,347 | 4,475 | 11,735 | 22,375 | 58,675 | 293,375 | 420,113 | 2,100,565 | 10,502,825 | 52,514,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -179 | -895 | -2,347 | -4,475 | -11,735 | -22,375 | -58,675 | -293,375 | -420,113 | -2,100,565 | -10,502,825 | -52,514,125 |
