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 52,516,405, 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 | 52,516,405 | |
| -1 | -52,516,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,516,405.
Example:
1 x 52,516,405 = 52,516,405
and
-1 x -52,516,405 = 52,516,405
Notice both answers equal 52,516,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,516,405 and divide it by 2:
52,516,405 ÷ 2 = 26,258,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,258,202.5 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 | 52,516,405 | |
| -1 | -52,516,405 |
Now, we try dividing 52,516,405 by 3:
52,516,405 ÷ 3 = 17,505,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,505,468.3333 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 | 52,516,405 | |
| -1 | -52,516,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,516,405 ÷ 4 = 13,129,101.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,129,101.25 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 | 52,516,405 | |
| -1 | 52,516,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 127 | 191 | 433 | 635 | 955 | 2,165 | 24,257 | 54,991 | 82,703 | 121,285 | 274,955 | 413,515 | 10,503,281 | 52,516,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -127 | -191 | -433 | -635 | -955 | -2,165 | -24,257 | -54,991 | -82,703 | -121,285 | -274,955 | -413,515 | -10,503,281 | -52,516,405 |
