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 52,616,605, 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 | 52,616,605 | |
| -1 | -52,616,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,616,605.
Example:
1 x 52,616,605 = 52,616,605
and
-1 x -52,616,605 = 52,616,605
Notice both answers equal 52,616,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,616,605 and divide it by 2:
52,616,605 ÷ 2 = 26,308,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,308,302.5 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 | 52,616,605 | |
| -1 | -52,616,605 |
Now, we try dividing 52,616,605 by 3:
52,616,605 ÷ 3 = 17,538,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,538,868.3333 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 | 52,616,605 | |
| -1 | -52,616,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,616,605 ÷ 4 = 13,154,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,154,151.25 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 | 52,616,605 | |
| -1 | 52,616,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 83 | 95 | 415 | 1,577 | 6,673 | 7,885 | 33,365 | 126,787 | 553,859 | 633,935 | 2,769,295 | 10,523,321 | 52,616,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -83 | -95 | -415 | -1,577 | -6,673 | -7,885 | -33,365 | -126,787 | -553,859 | -633,935 | -2,769,295 | -10,523,321 | -52,616,605 |
