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 53,300,315, 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 | 53,300,315 | |
| -1 | -53,300,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,300,315.
Example:
1 x 53,300,315 = 53,300,315
and
-1 x -53,300,315 = 53,300,315
Notice both answers equal 53,300,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,300,315 and divide it by 2:
53,300,315 ÷ 2 = 26,650,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,650,157.5 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 | 53,300,315 | |
| -1 | -53,300,315 |
Now, we try dividing 53,300,315 by 3:
53,300,315 ÷ 3 = 17,766,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,766,771.6667 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 | 53,300,315 | |
| -1 | -53,300,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,300,315 ÷ 4 = 13,325,078.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,325,078.75 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 | 53,300,315 | |
| -1 | 53,300,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 713 | 3,565 | 14,951 | 74,755 | 343,873 | 463,481 | 1,719,365 | 2,317,405 | 10,660,063 | 53,300,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -713 | -3,565 | -14,951 | -74,755 | -343,873 | -463,481 | -1,719,365 | -2,317,405 | -10,660,063 | -53,300,315 |
