How do I find the factor combinations of the number 52,521,534?

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 52,521,534, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 52,521,534
-1 -52,521,534

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,521,534.

Example:
1 x 52,521,534 = 52,521,534
and
-1 x -52,521,534 = 52,521,534
Notice both answers equal 52,521,534

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,521,534 and divide it by 2:

52,521,534 ÷ 2 = 26,260,767

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,260,767 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 26,260,767 52,521,534
-1 -2 -26,260,767 -52,521,534

Now, we try dividing 52,521,534 by 3:

52,521,534 ÷ 3 = 17,507,178

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,507,178 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 17,507,178 26,260,767 52,521,534
-1 -2 -3 -17,507,178 -26,260,767 -52,521,534

Let's try dividing by 4:

52,521,534 ÷ 4 = 13,130,383.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,130,383.5 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 2 3 17,507,178 26,260,767 52,521,534
-1 -2 -3 -17,507,178 -26,260,767 52,521,534
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
