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 52,526,435, 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 | 52,526,435 | |
| -1 | -52,526,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,526,435.
Example:
1 x 52,526,435 = 52,526,435
and
-1 x -52,526,435 = 52,526,435
Notice both answers equal 52,526,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,526,435 and divide it by 2:
52,526,435 ÷ 2 = 26,263,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,263,217.5 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 | 52,526,435 | |
| -1 | -52,526,435 |
Now, we try dividing 52,526,435 by 3:
52,526,435 ÷ 3 = 17,508,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,508,811.6667 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 | 52,526,435 | |
| -1 | -52,526,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,526,435 ÷ 4 = 13,131,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,131,608.75 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 | 52,526,435 | |
| -1 | 52,526,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 18,793 | 93,965 | 244,309 | 808,099 | 1,221,545 | 4,040,495 | 10,505,287 | 52,526,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -18,793 | -93,965 | -244,309 | -808,099 | -1,221,545 | -4,040,495 | -10,505,287 | -52,526,435 |
