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 53,628,125, 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 | 53,628,125 | |
| -1 | -53,628,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,628,125.
Example:
1 x 53,628,125 = 53,628,125
and
-1 x -53,628,125 = 53,628,125
Notice both answers equal 53,628,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,628,125 and divide it by 2:
53,628,125 ÷ 2 = 26,814,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,814,062.5 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 | 53,628,125 | |
| -1 | -53,628,125 |
Now, we try dividing 53,628,125 by 3:
53,628,125 ÷ 3 = 17,876,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,876,041.6667 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 | 53,628,125 | |
| -1 | -53,628,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,628,125 ÷ 4 = 13,407,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,407,031.25 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 | 53,628,125 | |
| -1 | 53,628,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 131 | 625 | 655 | 3,125 | 3,275 | 16,375 | 17,161 | 81,875 | 85,805 | 409,375 | 429,025 | 2,145,125 | 10,725,625 | 53,628,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -131 | -625 | -655 | -3,125 | -3,275 | -16,375 | -17,161 | -81,875 | -85,805 | -409,375 | -429,025 | -2,145,125 | -10,725,625 | -53,628,125 |
