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 53,200,123, 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 | 53,200,123 | |
| -1 | -53,200,123 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,200,123.
Example:
1 x 53,200,123 = 53,200,123
and
-1 x -53,200,123 = 53,200,123
Notice both answers equal 53,200,123
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,200,123 and divide it by 2:
53,200,123 ÷ 2 = 26,600,061.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,600,061.5 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 | 53,200,123 | |
| -1 | -53,200,123 |
Now, we try dividing 53,200,123 by 3:
53,200,123 ÷ 3 = 17,733,374.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,733,374.3333 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 | 53,200,123 | |
| -1 | -53,200,123 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,200,123 ÷ 4 = 13,300,030.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,300,030.75 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 | 53,200,123 | |
| -1 | 53,200,123 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 31 | 59 | 493 | 527 | 899 | 1,003 | 1,711 | 1,829 | 3,481 | 15,283 | 29,087 | 31,093 | 53,041 | 59,177 | 100,949 | 107,911 | 901,697 | 1,716,133 | 1,834,487 | 3,129,419 | 53,200,123 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -31 | -59 | -493 | -527 | -899 | -1,003 | -1,711 | -1,829 | -3,481 | -15,283 | -29,087 | -31,093 | -53,041 | -59,177 | -100,949 | -107,911 | -901,697 | -1,716,133 | -1,834,487 | -3,129,419 | -53,200,123 |
