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 56,452,333, 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 | 56,452,333 | |
| -1 | -56,452,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,452,333.
Example:
1 x 56,452,333 = 56,452,333
and
-1 x -56,452,333 = 56,452,333
Notice both answers equal 56,452,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,452,333 and divide it by 2:
56,452,333 ÷ 2 = 28,226,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,226,166.5 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 | 56,452,333 | |
| -1 | -56,452,333 |
Now, we try dividing 56,452,333 by 3:
56,452,333 ÷ 3 = 18,817,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,817,444.3333 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 | 56,452,333 | |
| -1 | -56,452,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,452,333 ÷ 4 = 14,113,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,113,083.25 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 | 56,452,333 | |
| -1 | 56,452,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 157 | 217 | 1,099 | 1,657 | 4,867 | 11,599 | 34,069 | 51,367 | 260,149 | 359,569 | 1,821,043 | 8,064,619 | 56,452,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -157 | -217 | -1,099 | -1,657 | -4,867 | -11,599 | -34,069 | -51,367 | -260,149 | -359,569 | -1,821,043 | -8,064,619 | -56,452,333 |
