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 52,648,015, 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 | 52,648,015 | |
| -1 | -52,648,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,648,015.
Example:
1 x 52,648,015 = 52,648,015
and
-1 x -52,648,015 = 52,648,015
Notice both answers equal 52,648,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,648,015 and divide it by 2:
52,648,015 ÷ 2 = 26,324,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,324,007.5 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 | 52,648,015 | |
| -1 | -52,648,015 |
Now, we try dividing 52,648,015 by 3:
52,648,015 ÷ 3 = 17,549,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,549,338.3333 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 | 52,648,015 | |
| -1 | -52,648,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,648,015 ÷ 4 = 13,162,003.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,162,003.75 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 | 52,648,015 | |
| -1 | 52,648,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,031 | 1,459 | 5,155 | 7,217 | 7,295 | 10,213 | 36,085 | 51,065 | 1,504,229 | 7,521,145 | 10,529,603 | 52,648,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,031 | -1,459 | -5,155 | -7,217 | -7,295 | -10,213 | -36,085 | -51,065 | -1,504,229 | -7,521,145 | -10,529,603 | -52,648,015 |
