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 53,606,605, 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 | 53,606,605 | |
| -1 | -53,606,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,606,605.
Example:
1 x 53,606,605 = 53,606,605
and
-1 x -53,606,605 = 53,606,605
Notice both answers equal 53,606,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,606,605 and divide it by 2:
53,606,605 ÷ 2 = 26,803,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,803,302.5 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 | 53,606,605 | |
| -1 | -53,606,605 |
Now, we try dividing 53,606,605 by 3:
53,606,605 ÷ 3 = 17,868,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,868,868.3333 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 | 53,606,605 | |
| -1 | -53,606,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,606,605 ÷ 4 = 13,401,651.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,401,651.25 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 | 53,606,605 | |
| -1 | 53,606,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 631 | 1,307 | 3,155 | 6,535 | 8,203 | 16,991 | 41,015 | 84,955 | 824,717 | 4,123,585 | 10,721,321 | 53,606,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -631 | -1,307 | -3,155 | -6,535 | -8,203 | -16,991 | -41,015 | -84,955 | -824,717 | -4,123,585 | -10,721,321 | -53,606,605 |
