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 53,167,201, 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 | 53,167,201 | |
| -1 | -53,167,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,167,201.
Example:
1 x 53,167,201 = 53,167,201
and
-1 x -53,167,201 = 53,167,201
Notice both answers equal 53,167,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,167,201 and divide it by 2:
53,167,201 ÷ 2 = 26,583,600.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,583,600.5 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 | 53,167,201 | |
| -1 | -53,167,201 |
Now, we try dividing 53,167,201 by 3:
53,167,201 ÷ 3 = 17,722,400.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,722,400.3333 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 | 53,167,201 | |
| -1 | -53,167,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,167,201 ÷ 4 = 13,291,800.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,291,800.25 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 | 53,167,201 | |
| -1 | 53,167,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 41 | 59 | 709 | 1,271 | 1,829 | 2,419 | 21,979 | 29,069 | 41,831 | 74,989 | 901,139 | 1,296,761 | 1,715,071 | 53,167,201 |
| -1 | -31 | -41 | -59 | -709 | -1,271 | -1,829 | -2,419 | -21,979 | -29,069 | -41,831 | -74,989 | -901,139 | -1,296,761 | -1,715,071 | -53,167,201 |
