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 53,203,345, 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 | 53,203,345 | |
| -1 | -53,203,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,203,345.
Example:
1 x 53,203,345 = 53,203,345
and
-1 x -53,203,345 = 53,203,345
Notice both answers equal 53,203,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,203,345 and divide it by 2:
53,203,345 ÷ 2 = 26,601,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,601,672.5 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 | 53,203,345 | |
| -1 | -53,203,345 |
Now, we try dividing 53,203,345 by 3:
53,203,345 ÷ 3 = 17,734,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,734,448.3333 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 | 53,203,345 | |
| -1 | -53,203,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,203,345 ÷ 4 = 13,300,836.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,300,836.25 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 | 53,203,345 | |
| -1 | 53,203,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 193 | 965 | 2,509 | 4,241 | 12,545 | 21,205 | 55,133 | 275,665 | 818,513 | 4,092,565 | 10,640,669 | 53,203,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -193 | -965 | -2,509 | -4,241 | -12,545 | -21,205 | -55,133 | -275,665 | -818,513 | -4,092,565 | -10,640,669 | -53,203,345 |
