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 53,367,305, 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 | 53,367,305 | |
| -1 | -53,367,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,367,305.
Example:
1 x 53,367,305 = 53,367,305
and
-1 x -53,367,305 = 53,367,305
Notice both answers equal 53,367,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,367,305 and divide it by 2:
53,367,305 ÷ 2 = 26,683,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,683,652.5 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 | 53,367,305 | |
| -1 | -53,367,305 |
Now, we try dividing 53,367,305 by 3:
53,367,305 ÷ 3 = 17,789,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,789,101.6667 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 | 53,367,305 | |
| -1 | -53,367,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,367,305 ÷ 4 = 13,341,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,341,826.25 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 | 53,367,305 | |
| -1 | 53,367,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 127 | 229 | 367 | 635 | 1,145 | 1,835 | 29,083 | 46,609 | 84,043 | 145,415 | 233,045 | 420,215 | 10,673,461 | 53,367,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -127 | -229 | -367 | -635 | -1,145 | -1,835 | -29,083 | -46,609 | -84,043 | -145,415 | -233,045 | -420,215 | -10,673,461 | -53,367,305 |
