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 52,760,357, 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 | 52,760,357 | |
| -1 | -52,760,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,760,357.
Example:
1 x 52,760,357 = 52,760,357
and
-1 x -52,760,357 = 52,760,357
Notice both answers equal 52,760,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,760,357 and divide it by 2:
52,760,357 ÷ 2 = 26,380,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,380,178.5 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 | 52,760,357 | |
| -1 | -52,760,357 |
Now, we try dividing 52,760,357 by 3:
52,760,357 ÷ 3 = 17,586,785.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,586,785.6667 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 | 52,760,357 | |
| -1 | -52,760,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,760,357 ÷ 4 = 13,190,089.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,190,089.25 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 | 52,760,357 | |
| -1 | 52,760,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 89 | 403 | 1,157 | 1,471 | 2,759 | 19,123 | 35,867 | 45,601 | 130,919 | 592,813 | 1,701,947 | 4,058,489 | 52,760,357 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -89 | -403 | -1,157 | -1,471 | -2,759 | -19,123 | -35,867 | -45,601 | -130,919 | -592,813 | -1,701,947 | -4,058,489 | -52,760,357 |
