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 53,246,695, 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 | 53,246,695 | |
| -1 | -53,246,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,246,695.
Example:
1 x 53,246,695 = 53,246,695
and
-1 x -53,246,695 = 53,246,695
Notice both answers equal 53,246,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,246,695 and divide it by 2:
53,246,695 ÷ 2 = 26,623,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,623,347.5 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 | 53,246,695 | |
| -1 | -53,246,695 |
Now, we try dividing 53,246,695 by 3:
53,246,695 ÷ 3 = 17,748,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,748,898.3333 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 | 53,246,695 | |
| -1 | -53,246,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,246,695 ÷ 4 = 13,311,673.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,311,673.75 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 | 53,246,695 | |
| -1 | 53,246,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 101 | 485 | 505 | 1,087 | 5,435 | 9,797 | 48,985 | 105,439 | 109,787 | 527,195 | 548,935 | 10,649,339 | 53,246,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -101 | -485 | -505 | -1,087 | -5,435 | -9,797 | -48,985 | -105,439 | -109,787 | -527,195 | -548,935 | -10,649,339 | -53,246,695 |
