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 53,253,365, 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 | 53,253,365 | |
| -1 | -53,253,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,253,365.
Example:
1 x 53,253,365 = 53,253,365
and
-1 x -53,253,365 = 53,253,365
Notice both answers equal 53,253,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,253,365 and divide it by 2:
53,253,365 ÷ 2 = 26,626,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,626,682.5 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 | 53,253,365 | |
| -1 | -53,253,365 |
Now, we try dividing 53,253,365 by 3:
53,253,365 ÷ 3 = 17,751,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,751,121.6667 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 | 53,253,365 | |
| -1 | -53,253,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,253,365 ÷ 4 = 13,313,341.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,313,341.25 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 | 53,253,365 | |
| -1 | 53,253,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 107 | 535 | 1,177 | 5,885 | 9,049 | 45,245 | 99,539 | 497,695 | 968,243 | 4,841,215 | 10,650,673 | 53,253,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -107 | -535 | -1,177 | -5,885 | -9,049 | -45,245 | -99,539 | -497,695 | -968,243 | -4,841,215 | -10,650,673 | -53,253,365 |
