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 52,575,187, 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 | 52,575,187 | |
| -1 | -52,575,187 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,575,187.
Example:
1 x 52,575,187 = 52,575,187
and
-1 x -52,575,187 = 52,575,187
Notice both answers equal 52,575,187
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,575,187 and divide it by 2:
52,575,187 ÷ 2 = 26,287,593.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,287,593.5 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 | 52,575,187 | |
| -1 | -52,575,187 |
Now, we try dividing 52,575,187 by 3:
52,575,187 ÷ 3 = 17,525,062.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,525,062.3333 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 | 52,575,187 | |
| -1 | -52,575,187 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,575,187 ÷ 4 = 13,143,796.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,143,796.75 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 | 52,575,187 | |
| -1 | 52,575,187 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 49 | 259 | 329 | 617 | 1,739 | 1,813 | 2,303 | 4,319 | 12,173 | 22,829 | 28,999 | 30,233 | 85,211 | 159,803 | 202,993 | 1,072,963 | 1,118,621 | 1,420,951 | 7,510,741 | 52,575,187 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -49 | -259 | -329 | -617 | -1,739 | -1,813 | -2,303 | -4,319 | -12,173 | -22,829 | -28,999 | -30,233 | -85,211 | -159,803 | -202,993 | -1,072,963 | -1,118,621 | -1,420,951 | -7,510,741 | -52,575,187 |
