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 52,524,433, 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 | 52,524,433 | |
| -1 | -52,524,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,524,433.
Example:
1 x 52,524,433 = 52,524,433
and
-1 x -52,524,433 = 52,524,433
Notice both answers equal 52,524,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,524,433 and divide it by 2:
52,524,433 ÷ 2 = 26,262,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,262,216.5 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 | 52,524,433 | |
| -1 | -52,524,433 |
Now, we try dividing 52,524,433 by 3:
52,524,433 ÷ 3 = 17,508,144.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,508,144.3333 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 | 52,524,433 | |
| -1 | -52,524,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,524,433 ÷ 4 = 13,131,108.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,131,108.25 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 | 52,524,433 | |
| -1 | 52,524,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 97 | 299 | 1,261 | 1,811 | 2,231 | 23,543 | 29,003 | 41,653 | 175,667 | 541,489 | 2,283,671 | 4,040,341 | 52,524,433 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -97 | -299 | -1,261 | -1,811 | -2,231 | -23,543 | -29,003 | -41,653 | -175,667 | -541,489 | -2,283,671 | -4,040,341 | -52,524,433 |
