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 53,165,155, 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 | 53,165,155 | |
| -1 | -53,165,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,165,155.
Example:
1 x 53,165,155 = 53,165,155
and
-1 x -53,165,155 = 53,165,155
Notice both answers equal 53,165,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,165,155 and divide it by 2:
53,165,155 ÷ 2 = 26,582,577.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,582,577.5 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 | 53,165,155 | |
| -1 | -53,165,155 |
Now, we try dividing 53,165,155 by 3:
53,165,155 ÷ 3 = 17,721,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,721,718.3333 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 | 53,165,155 | |
| -1 | -53,165,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,165,155 ÷ 4 = 13,291,288.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,291,288.75 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 | 53,165,155 | |
| -1 | 53,165,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 71 | 155 | 355 | 2,201 | 4,831 | 11,005 | 24,155 | 149,761 | 343,001 | 748,805 | 1,715,005 | 10,633,031 | 53,165,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -71 | -155 | -355 | -2,201 | -4,831 | -11,005 | -24,155 | -149,761 | -343,001 | -748,805 | -1,715,005 | -10,633,031 | -53,165,155 |
