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 52,566,787, 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 | 52,566,787 | |
| -1 | -52,566,787 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,566,787.
Example:
1 x 52,566,787 = 52,566,787
and
-1 x -52,566,787 = 52,566,787
Notice both answers equal 52,566,787
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,566,787 and divide it by 2:
52,566,787 ÷ 2 = 26,283,393.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,283,393.5 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 | 52,566,787 | |
| -1 | -52,566,787 |
Now, we try dividing 52,566,787 by 3:
52,566,787 ÷ 3 = 17,522,262.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,522,262.3333 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 | 52,566,787 | |
| -1 | -52,566,787 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,566,787 ÷ 4 = 13,141,696.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,141,696.75 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 | 52,566,787 | |
| -1 | 52,566,787 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 30,403 | 212,821 | 395,239 | 577,657 | 2,766,673 | 4,043,599 | 7,509,541 | 52,566,787 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -30,403 | -212,821 | -395,239 | -577,657 | -2,766,673 | -4,043,599 | -7,509,541 | -52,566,787 |
