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 53,563,205, 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 | 53,563,205 | |
| -1 | -53,563,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,563,205.
Example:
1 x 53,563,205 = 53,563,205
and
-1 x -53,563,205 = 53,563,205
Notice both answers equal 53,563,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,563,205 and divide it by 2:
53,563,205 ÷ 2 = 26,781,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,781,602.5 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 | 53,563,205 | |
| -1 | -53,563,205 |
Now, we try dividing 53,563,205 by 3:
53,563,205 ÷ 3 = 17,854,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,854,401.6667 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 | 53,563,205 | |
| -1 | -53,563,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,563,205 ÷ 4 = 13,390,801.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,390,801.25 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 | 53,563,205 | |
| -1 | 53,563,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 233 | 1,165 | 1,999 | 5,359 | 9,995 | 26,795 | 45,977 | 229,885 | 465,767 | 2,328,835 | 10,712,641 | 53,563,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -233 | -1,165 | -1,999 | -5,359 | -9,995 | -26,795 | -45,977 | -229,885 | -465,767 | -2,328,835 | -10,712,641 | -53,563,205 |
