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 53,612,335, 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 | 53,612,335 | |
| -1 | -53,612,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,612,335.
Example:
1 x 53,612,335 = 53,612,335
and
-1 x -53,612,335 = 53,612,335
Notice both answers equal 53,612,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,612,335 and divide it by 2:
53,612,335 ÷ 2 = 26,806,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,806,167.5 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 | 53,612,335 | |
| -1 | -53,612,335 |
Now, we try dividing 53,612,335 by 3:
53,612,335 ÷ 3 = 17,870,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,870,778.3333 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 | 53,612,335 | |
| -1 | -53,612,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,612,335 ÷ 4 = 13,403,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,403,083.75 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 | 53,612,335 | |
| -1 | 53,612,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 229 | 1,145 | 1,603 | 6,689 | 8,015 | 33,445 | 46,823 | 234,115 | 1,531,781 | 7,658,905 | 10,722,467 | 53,612,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -229 | -1,145 | -1,603 | -6,689 | -8,015 | -33,445 | -46,823 | -234,115 | -1,531,781 | -7,658,905 | -10,722,467 | -53,612,335 |
