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 52,625,633, 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 | 52,625,633 | |
| -1 | -52,625,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,625,633.
Example:
1 x 52,625,633 = 52,625,633
and
-1 x -52,625,633 = 52,625,633
Notice both answers equal 52,625,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,625,633 and divide it by 2:
52,625,633 ÷ 2 = 26,312,816.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,312,816.5 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 | 52,625,633 | |
| -1 | -52,625,633 |
Now, we try dividing 52,625,633 by 3:
52,625,633 ÷ 3 = 17,541,877.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,541,877.6667 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 | 52,625,633 | |
| -1 | -52,625,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,625,633 ÷ 4 = 13,156,408.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,156,408.25 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 | 52,625,633 | |
| -1 | 52,625,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 257 | 307 | 667 | 5,911 | 7,061 | 7,453 | 8,903 | 78,899 | 171,419 | 204,769 | 1,814,677 | 2,288,071 | 52,625,633 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -257 | -307 | -667 | -5,911 | -7,061 | -7,453 | -8,903 | -78,899 | -171,419 | -204,769 | -1,814,677 | -2,288,071 | -52,625,633 |
