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 52,560,641, 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 | 52,560,641 | |
| -1 | -52,560,641 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,560,641.
Example:
1 x 52,560,641 = 52,560,641
and
-1 x -52,560,641 = 52,560,641
Notice both answers equal 52,560,641
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,560,641 and divide it by 2:
52,560,641 ÷ 2 = 26,280,320.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,280,320.5 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 | 52,560,641 | |
| -1 | -52,560,641 |
Now, we try dividing 52,560,641 by 3:
52,560,641 ÷ 3 = 17,520,213.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,520,213.6667 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 | 52,560,641 | |
| -1 | -52,560,641 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,560,641 ÷ 4 = 13,140,160.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,140,160.25 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 | 52,560,641 | |
| -1 | 52,560,641 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 89 | 239 | 353 | 623 | 1,673 | 2,471 | 21,271 | 31,417 | 84,367 | 148,897 | 219,919 | 590,569 | 7,508,663 | 52,560,641 |
| -1 | -7 | -89 | -239 | -353 | -623 | -1,673 | -2,471 | -21,271 | -31,417 | -84,367 | -148,897 | -219,919 | -590,569 | -7,508,663 | -52,560,641 |
