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 52,621,051, 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 | 52,621,051 | |
| -1 | -52,621,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,621,051.
Example:
1 x 52,621,051 = 52,621,051
and
-1 x -52,621,051 = 52,621,051
Notice both answers equal 52,621,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,621,051 and divide it by 2:
52,621,051 ÷ 2 = 26,310,525.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,310,525.5 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 | 52,621,051 | |
| -1 | -52,621,051 |
Now, we try dividing 52,621,051 by 3:
52,621,051 ÷ 3 = 17,540,350.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,540,350.3333 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 | 52,621,051 | |
| -1 | -52,621,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,621,051 ÷ 4 = 13,155,262.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,155,262.75 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 | 52,621,051 | |
| -1 | 52,621,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 29 | 49 | 133 | 203 | 551 | 931 | 1,421 | 1,949 | 3,857 | 13,643 | 26,999 | 37,031 | 56,521 | 95,501 | 259,217 | 395,647 | 1,073,899 | 1,814,519 | 2,769,529 | 7,517,293 | 52,621,051 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -29 | -49 | -133 | -203 | -551 | -931 | -1,421 | -1,949 | -3,857 | -13,643 | -26,999 | -37,031 | -56,521 | -95,501 | -259,217 | -395,647 | -1,073,899 | -1,814,519 | -2,769,529 | -7,517,293 | -52,621,051 |
