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 52,613,827, 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 | 52,613,827 | |
| -1 | -52,613,827 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,613,827.
Example:
1 x 52,613,827 = 52,613,827
and
-1 x -52,613,827 = 52,613,827
Notice both answers equal 52,613,827
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,613,827 and divide it by 2:
52,613,827 ÷ 2 = 26,306,913.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,306,913.5 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 | 52,613,827 | |
| -1 | -52,613,827 |
Now, we try dividing 52,613,827 by 3:
52,613,827 ÷ 3 = 17,537,942.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,537,942.3333 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 | 52,613,827 | |
| -1 | -52,613,827 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,613,827 ÷ 4 = 13,153,456.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,153,456.75 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 | 52,613,827 | |
| -1 | 52,613,827 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 67 | 119 | 469 | 1,139 | 6,599 | 7,973 | 46,193 | 112,183 | 442,133 | 785,281 | 3,094,931 | 7,516,261 | 52,613,827 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -67 | -119 | -469 | -1,139 | -6,599 | -7,973 | -46,193 | -112,183 | -442,133 | -785,281 | -3,094,931 | -7,516,261 | -52,613,827 |
