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 52,610,677, 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 | 52,610,677 | |
| -1 | -52,610,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,610,677.
Example:
1 x 52,610,677 = 52,610,677
and
-1 x -52,610,677 = 52,610,677
Notice both answers equal 52,610,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,610,677 and divide it by 2:
52,610,677 ÷ 2 = 26,305,338.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,305,338.5 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 | 52,610,677 | |
| -1 | -52,610,677 |
Now, we try dividing 52,610,677 by 3:
52,610,677 ÷ 3 = 17,536,892.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,536,892.3333 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 | 52,610,677 | |
| -1 | -52,610,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,610,677 ÷ 4 = 13,152,669.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,152,669.25 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 | 52,610,677 | |
| -1 | 52,610,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 449 | 881 | 3,143 | 6,167 | 8,531 | 16,739 | 59,717 | 117,173 | 395,569 | 2,768,983 | 7,515,811 | 52,610,677 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -449 | -881 | -3,143 | -6,167 | -8,531 | -16,739 | -59,717 | -117,173 | -395,569 | -2,768,983 | -7,515,811 | -52,610,677 |
