How do I find the factor combinations of the number 52,346,664?

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 52,346,664, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 52,346,664
-1 -52,346,664

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,346,664.

Example:
1 x 52,346,664 = 52,346,664
and
-1 x -52,346,664 = 52,346,664
Notice both answers equal 52,346,664

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,346,664 and divide it by 2:

52,346,664 ÷ 2 = 26,173,332

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,173,332 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 26,173,332 52,346,664
-1 -2 -26,173,332 -52,346,664

Now, we try dividing 52,346,664 by 3:

52,346,664 ÷ 3 = 17,448,888

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,448,888 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 17,448,888 26,173,332 52,346,664
-1 -2 -3 -17,448,888 -26,173,332 -52,346,664

Let's try dividing by 4:

52,346,664 ÷ 4 = 13,086,666

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,086,666 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 13,086,666 17,448,888 26,173,332 52,346,664
-1 -2 -3 -4 -13,086,666 -17,448,888 -26,173,332 52,346,664
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
