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 53,501,525, 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 | 53,501,525 | |
| -1 | -53,501,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,501,525.
Example:
1 x 53,501,525 = 53,501,525
and
-1 x -53,501,525 = 53,501,525
Notice both answers equal 53,501,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,501,525 and divide it by 2:
53,501,525 ÷ 2 = 26,750,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,750,762.5 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 | 53,501,525 | |
| -1 | -53,501,525 |
Now, we try dividing 53,501,525 by 3:
53,501,525 ÷ 3 = 17,833,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,833,841.6667 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 | 53,501,525 | |
| -1 | -53,501,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,501,525 ÷ 4 = 13,375,381.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,375,381.25 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 | 53,501,525 | |
| -1 | 53,501,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 175 | 275 | 385 | 1,925 | 27,793 | 138,965 | 194,551 | 305,723 | 694,825 | 972,755 | 1,528,615 | 2,140,061 | 4,863,775 | 7,643,075 | 10,700,305 | 53,501,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -175 | -275 | -385 | -1,925 | -27,793 | -138,965 | -194,551 | -305,723 | -694,825 | -972,755 | -1,528,615 | -2,140,061 | -4,863,775 | -7,643,075 | -10,700,305 | -53,501,525 |
