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 52,631,501, 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 | 52,631,501 | |
| -1 | -52,631,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,631,501.
Example:
1 x 52,631,501 = 52,631,501
and
-1 x -52,631,501 = 52,631,501
Notice both answers equal 52,631,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,631,501 and divide it by 2:
52,631,501 ÷ 2 = 26,315,750.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,315,750.5 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 | 52,631,501 | |
| -1 | -52,631,501 |
Now, we try dividing 52,631,501 by 3:
52,631,501 ÷ 3 = 17,543,833.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,543,833.6667 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 | 52,631,501 | |
| -1 | -52,631,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,631,501 ÷ 4 = 13,157,875.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,157,875.25 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 | 52,631,501 | |
| -1 | 52,631,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 37 | 169 | 247 | 443 | 481 | 703 | 3,211 | 5,759 | 6,253 | 8,417 | 9,139 | 16,391 | 74,867 | 109,421 | 118,807 | 213,083 | 311,429 | 1,422,473 | 2,770,079 | 4,048,577 | 52,631,501 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -37 | -169 | -247 | -443 | -481 | -703 | -3,211 | -5,759 | -6,253 | -8,417 | -9,139 | -16,391 | -74,867 | -109,421 | -118,807 | -213,083 | -311,429 | -1,422,473 | -2,770,079 | -4,048,577 | -52,631,501 |
