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 52,710,965, 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 | 52,710,965 | |
| -1 | -52,710,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,710,965.
Example:
1 x 52,710,965 = 52,710,965
and
-1 x -52,710,965 = 52,710,965
Notice both answers equal 52,710,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,710,965 and divide it by 2:
52,710,965 ÷ 2 = 26,355,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,355,482.5 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 | 52,710,965 | |
| -1 | -52,710,965 |
Now, we try dividing 52,710,965 by 3:
52,710,965 ÷ 3 = 17,570,321.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,570,321.6667 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 | 52,710,965 | |
| -1 | -52,710,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,710,965 ÷ 4 = 13,177,741.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,177,741.25 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 | 52,710,965 | |
| -1 | 52,710,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 211 | 1,055 | 2,939 | 3,587 | 14,695 | 17,935 | 49,963 | 249,815 | 620,129 | 3,100,645 | 10,542,193 | 52,710,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -211 | -1,055 | -2,939 | -3,587 | -14,695 | -17,935 | -49,963 | -249,815 | -620,129 | -3,100,645 | -10,542,193 | -52,710,965 |
