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 53,253,367, 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 | 53,253,367 | |
| -1 | -53,253,367 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,253,367.
Example:
1 x 53,253,367 = 53,253,367
and
-1 x -53,253,367 = 53,253,367
Notice both answers equal 53,253,367
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,253,367 and divide it by 2:
53,253,367 ÷ 2 = 26,626,683.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,626,683.5 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 | 53,253,367 | |
| -1 | -53,253,367 |
Now, we try dividing 53,253,367 by 3:
53,253,367 ÷ 3 = 17,751,122.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,751,122.3333 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 | 53,253,367 | |
| -1 | -53,253,367 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,253,367 ÷ 4 = 13,313,341.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,313,341.75 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 | 53,253,367 | |
| -1 | 53,253,367 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 109 | 493 | 991 | 1,853 | 3,161 | 16,847 | 28,739 | 53,737 | 108,019 | 488,563 | 1,836,323 | 3,132,551 | 53,253,367 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -109 | -493 | -991 | -1,853 | -3,161 | -16,847 | -28,739 | -53,737 | -108,019 | -488,563 | -1,836,323 | -3,132,551 | -53,253,367 |
