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 52,660,205, 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 | 52,660,205 | |
| -1 | -52,660,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,660,205.
Example:
1 x 52,660,205 = 52,660,205
and
-1 x -52,660,205 = 52,660,205
Notice both answers equal 52,660,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,660,205 and divide it by 2:
52,660,205 ÷ 2 = 26,330,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,330,102.5 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 | 52,660,205 | |
| -1 | -52,660,205 |
Now, we try dividing 52,660,205 by 3:
52,660,205 ÷ 3 = 17,553,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,553,401.6667 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 | 52,660,205 | |
| -1 | -52,660,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,660,205 ÷ 4 = 13,165,051.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,165,051.25 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 | 52,660,205 | |
| -1 | 52,660,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 563 | 1,439 | 2,815 | 7,195 | 7,319 | 18,707 | 36,595 | 93,535 | 810,157 | 4,050,785 | 10,532,041 | 52,660,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -563 | -1,439 | -2,815 | -7,195 | -7,319 | -18,707 | -36,595 | -93,535 | -810,157 | -4,050,785 | -10,532,041 | -52,660,205 |
