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 53,302,051, 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 | 53,302,051 | |
| -1 | -53,302,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,302,051.
Example:
1 x 53,302,051 = 53,302,051
and
-1 x -53,302,051 = 53,302,051
Notice both answers equal 53,302,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,302,051 and divide it by 2:
53,302,051 ÷ 2 = 26,651,025.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,651,025.5 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 | 53,302,051 | |
| -1 | -53,302,051 |
Now, we try dividing 53,302,051 by 3:
53,302,051 ÷ 3 = 17,767,350.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,767,350.3333 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 | 53,302,051 | |
| -1 | -53,302,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,302,051 ÷ 4 = 13,325,512.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,325,512.75 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 | 53,302,051 | |
| -1 | 53,302,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 67 | 341 | 737 | 2,077 | 2,333 | 22,847 | 25,663 | 72,323 | 156,311 | 795,553 | 1,719,421 | 4,845,641 | 53,302,051 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -67 | -341 | -737 | -2,077 | -2,333 | -22,847 | -25,663 | -72,323 | -156,311 | -795,553 | -1,719,421 | -4,845,641 | -53,302,051 |
