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 53,105,455, 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 | 53,105,455 | |
| -1 | -53,105,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,105,455.
Example:
1 x 53,105,455 = 53,105,455
and
-1 x -53,105,455 = 53,105,455
Notice both answers equal 53,105,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,105,455 and divide it by 2:
53,105,455 ÷ 2 = 26,552,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,552,727.5 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 | 53,105,455 | |
| -1 | -53,105,455 |
Now, we try dividing 53,105,455 by 3:
53,105,455 ÷ 3 = 17,701,818.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,701,818.3333 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 | 53,105,455 | |
| -1 | -53,105,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,105,455 ÷ 4 = 13,276,363.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,276,363.75 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 | 53,105,455 | |
| -1 | 53,105,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 41 | 65 | 205 | 533 | 2,665 | 19,927 | 99,635 | 259,051 | 817,007 | 1,295,255 | 4,085,035 | 10,621,091 | 53,105,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -41 | -65 | -205 | -533 | -2,665 | -19,927 | -99,635 | -259,051 | -817,007 | -1,295,255 | -4,085,035 | -10,621,091 | -53,105,455 |
