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 53,703,629, 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 | 53,703,629 | |
| -1 | -53,703,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,703,629.
Example:
1 x 53,703,629 = 53,703,629
and
-1 x -53,703,629 = 53,703,629
Notice both answers equal 53,703,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,703,629 and divide it by 2:
53,703,629 ÷ 2 = 26,851,814.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,851,814.5 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 | 53,703,629 | |
| -1 | -53,703,629 |
Now, we try dividing 53,703,629 by 3:
53,703,629 ÷ 3 = 17,901,209.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,901,209.6667 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 | 53,703,629 | |
| -1 | -53,703,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,703,629 ÷ 4 = 13,425,907.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,425,907.25 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 | 53,703,629 | |
| -1 | 53,703,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 59 | 119 | 413 | 1,003 | 7,021 | 7,649 | 53,543 | 130,033 | 451,291 | 910,231 | 3,159,037 | 7,671,947 | 53,703,629 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -59 | -119 | -413 | -1,003 | -7,021 | -7,649 | -53,543 | -130,033 | -451,291 | -910,231 | -3,159,037 | -7,671,947 | -53,703,629 |
