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 53,333,233, 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 | 53,333,233 | |
| -1 | -53,333,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,333,233.
Example:
1 x 53,333,233 = 53,333,233
and
-1 x -53,333,233 = 53,333,233
Notice both answers equal 53,333,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,333,233 and divide it by 2:
53,333,233 ÷ 2 = 26,666,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,666,616.5 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 | 53,333,233 | |
| -1 | -53,333,233 |
Now, we try dividing 53,333,233 by 3:
53,333,233 ÷ 3 = 17,777,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,777,744.3333 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 | 53,333,233 | |
| -1 | -53,333,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,333,233 ÷ 4 = 13,333,308.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,333,308.25 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 | 53,333,233 | |
| -1 | 53,333,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 251 | 431 | 493 | 4,267 | 7,279 | 7,327 | 12,499 | 108,181 | 123,743 | 212,483 | 1,839,077 | 3,137,249 | 53,333,233 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -251 | -431 | -493 | -4,267 | -7,279 | -7,327 | -12,499 | -108,181 | -123,743 | -212,483 | -1,839,077 | -3,137,249 | -53,333,233 |
