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 52,782,755, 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 | 52,782,755 | |
| -1 | -52,782,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,782,755.
Example:
1 x 52,782,755 = 52,782,755
and
-1 x -52,782,755 = 52,782,755
Notice both answers equal 52,782,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,782,755 and divide it by 2:
52,782,755 ÷ 2 = 26,391,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,391,377.5 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 | 52,782,755 | |
| -1 | -52,782,755 |
Now, we try dividing 52,782,755 by 3:
52,782,755 ÷ 3 = 17,594,251.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,594,251.6667 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 | 52,782,755 | |
| -1 | -52,782,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,782,755 ÷ 4 = 13,195,688.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,195,688.75 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 | 52,782,755 | |
| -1 | 52,782,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 313 | 1,163 | 1,565 | 5,815 | 9,077 | 33,727 | 45,385 | 168,635 | 364,019 | 1,820,095 | 10,556,551 | 52,782,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -313 | -1,163 | -1,565 | -5,815 | -9,077 | -33,727 | -45,385 | -168,635 | -364,019 | -1,820,095 | -10,556,551 | -52,782,755 |
