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 53,434,117, 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 | 53,434,117 | |
| -1 | -53,434,117 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,434,117.
Example:
1 x 53,434,117 = 53,434,117
and
-1 x -53,434,117 = 53,434,117
Notice both answers equal 53,434,117
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,434,117 and divide it by 2:
53,434,117 ÷ 2 = 26,717,058.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,717,058.5 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 | 53,434,117 | |
| -1 | -53,434,117 |
Now, we try dividing 53,434,117 by 3:
53,434,117 ÷ 3 = 17,811,372.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,811,372.3333 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 | 53,434,117 | |
| -1 | -53,434,117 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,434,117 ÷ 4 = 13,358,529.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,358,529.25 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 | 53,434,117 | |
| -1 | 53,434,117 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 281 | 293 | 649 | 3,091 | 3,223 | 16,579 | 17,287 | 82,333 | 182,369 | 190,157 | 905,663 | 4,857,647 | 53,434,117 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -281 | -293 | -649 | -3,091 | -3,223 | -16,579 | -17,287 | -82,333 | -182,369 | -190,157 | -905,663 | -4,857,647 | -53,434,117 |
