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 53,667,053, 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 | 53,667,053 | |
| -1 | -53,667,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,667,053.
Example:
1 x 53,667,053 = 53,667,053
and
-1 x -53,667,053 = 53,667,053
Notice both answers equal 53,667,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,667,053 and divide it by 2:
53,667,053 ÷ 2 = 26,833,526.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,833,526.5 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 | 53,667,053 | |
| -1 | -53,667,053 |
Now, we try dividing 53,667,053 by 3:
53,667,053 ÷ 3 = 17,889,017.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,889,017.6667 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 | 53,667,053 | |
| -1 | -53,667,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,667,053 ÷ 4 = 13,416,763.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,416,763.25 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 | 53,667,053 | |
| -1 | 53,667,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 83 | 473 | 913 | 1,367 | 3,569 | 15,037 | 39,259 | 58,781 | 113,461 | 646,591 | 1,248,071 | 4,878,823 | 53,667,053 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -83 | -473 | -913 | -1,367 | -3,569 | -15,037 | -39,259 | -58,781 | -113,461 | -646,591 | -1,248,071 | -4,878,823 | -53,667,053 |
