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 52,635,505, 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 | 52,635,505 | |
| -1 | -52,635,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,635,505.
Example:
1 x 52,635,505 = 52,635,505
and
-1 x -52,635,505 = 52,635,505
Notice both answers equal 52,635,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,635,505 and divide it by 2:
52,635,505 ÷ 2 = 26,317,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,317,752.5 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 | 52,635,505 | |
| -1 | -52,635,505 |
Now, we try dividing 52,635,505 by 3:
52,635,505 ÷ 3 = 17,545,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,545,168.3333 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 | 52,635,505 | |
| -1 | -52,635,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,635,505 ÷ 4 = 13,158,876.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,158,876.25 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 | 52,635,505 | |
| -1 | 52,635,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 263 | 1,315 | 3,079 | 3,419 | 15,395 | 17,095 | 40,027 | 200,135 | 809,777 | 4,048,885 | 10,527,101 | 52,635,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -263 | -1,315 | -3,079 | -3,419 | -15,395 | -17,095 | -40,027 | -200,135 | -809,777 | -4,048,885 | -10,527,101 | -52,635,505 |
