How do I find the factor combinations of the number 53,501,712?

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 53,501,712, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 53,501,712
-1 -53,501,712

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,501,712.

Example:
1 x 53,501,712 = 53,501,712
and
-1 x -53,501,712 = 53,501,712
Notice both answers equal 53,501,712

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,501,712 and divide it by 2:

53,501,712 ÷ 2 = 26,750,856

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,750,856 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 26,750,856 53,501,712
-1 -2 -26,750,856 -53,501,712

Now, we try dividing 53,501,712 by 3:

53,501,712 ÷ 3 = 17,833,904

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,833,904 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 17,833,904 26,750,856 53,501,712
-1 -2 -3 -17,833,904 -26,750,856 -53,501,712

Let's try dividing by 4:

53,501,712 ÷ 4 = 13,375,428

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,375,428 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 13,375,428 17,833,904 26,750,856 53,501,712
-1 -2 -3 -4 -13,375,428 -17,833,904 -26,750,856 53,501,712
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
