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 52,666,345, 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 | 52,666,345 | |
| -1 | -52,666,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,666,345.
Example:
1 x 52,666,345 = 52,666,345
and
-1 x -52,666,345 = 52,666,345
Notice both answers equal 52,666,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,666,345 and divide it by 2:
52,666,345 ÷ 2 = 26,333,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,333,172.5 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 | 52,666,345 | |
| -1 | -52,666,345 |
Now, we try dividing 52,666,345 by 3:
52,666,345 ÷ 3 = 17,555,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,555,448.3333 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 | 52,666,345 | |
| -1 | -52,666,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,666,345 ÷ 4 = 13,166,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,166,586.25 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 | 52,666,345 | |
| -1 | 52,666,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 199 | 205 | 995 | 1,291 | 6,455 | 8,159 | 40,795 | 52,931 | 256,909 | 264,655 | 1,284,545 | 10,533,269 | 52,666,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -199 | -205 | -995 | -1,291 | -6,455 | -8,159 | -40,795 | -52,931 | -256,909 | -264,655 | -1,284,545 | -10,533,269 | -52,666,345 |
