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 53,122,535, 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 | 53,122,535 | |
| -1 | -53,122,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,122,535.
Example:
1 x 53,122,535 = 53,122,535
and
-1 x -53,122,535 = 53,122,535
Notice both answers equal 53,122,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,122,535 and divide it by 2:
53,122,535 ÷ 2 = 26,561,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,561,267.5 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 | 53,122,535 | |
| -1 | -53,122,535 |
Now, we try dividing 53,122,535 by 3:
53,122,535 ÷ 3 = 17,707,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,707,511.6667 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 | 53,122,535 | |
| -1 | -53,122,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,122,535 ÷ 4 = 13,280,633.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,280,633.75 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 | 53,122,535 | |
| -1 | 53,122,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 97 | 289 | 379 | 485 | 1,445 | 1,649 | 1,895 | 6,443 | 8,245 | 28,033 | 32,215 | 36,763 | 109,531 | 140,165 | 183,815 | 547,655 | 624,971 | 3,124,855 | 10,624,507 | 53,122,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -97 | -289 | -379 | -485 | -1,445 | -1,649 | -1,895 | -6,443 | -8,245 | -28,033 | -32,215 | -36,763 | -109,531 | -140,165 | -183,815 | -547,655 | -624,971 | -3,124,855 | -10,624,507 | -53,122,535 |
