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 52,858,267, 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 | 52,858,267 | |
| -1 | -52,858,267 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,858,267.
Example:
1 x 52,858,267 = 52,858,267
and
-1 x -52,858,267 = 52,858,267
Notice both answers equal 52,858,267
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,858,267 and divide it by 2:
52,858,267 ÷ 2 = 26,429,133.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,429,133.5 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 | 52,858,267 | |
| -1 | -52,858,267 |
Now, we try dividing 52,858,267 by 3:
52,858,267 ÷ 3 = 17,619,422.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,619,422.3333 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 | 52,858,267 | |
| -1 | -52,858,267 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,858,267 ÷ 4 = 13,214,566.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,214,566.75 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 | 52,858,267 | |
| -1 | 52,858,267 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 619 | 1,109 | 4,333 | 6,809 | 7,763 | 12,199 | 47,663 | 85,393 | 686,471 | 4,805,297 | 7,551,181 | 52,858,267 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -619 | -1,109 | -4,333 | -6,809 | -7,763 | -12,199 | -47,663 | -85,393 | -686,471 | -4,805,297 | -7,551,181 | -52,858,267 |
