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 52,346,665, 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 | 52,346,665 | |
| -1 | -52,346,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 52,346,665.
Example:
1 x 52,346,665 = 52,346,665
and
-1 x -52,346,665 = 52,346,665
Notice both answers equal 52,346,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 52,346,665 and divide it by 2:
52,346,665 ÷ 2 = 26,173,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,173,332.5 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 | 52,346,665 | |
| -1 | -52,346,665 |
Now, we try dividing 52,346,665 by 3:
52,346,665 ÷ 3 = 17,448,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,448,888.3333 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 | 52,346,665 | |
| -1 | -52,346,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
52,346,665 ÷ 4 = 13,086,666.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,086,666.25 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 | 52,346,665 | |
| -1 | 52,346,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 449 | 2,245 | 3,143 | 3,331 | 15,715 | 16,655 | 23,317 | 116,585 | 1,495,619 | 7,478,095 | 10,469,333 | 52,346,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -449 | -2,245 | -3,143 | -3,331 | -15,715 | -16,655 | -23,317 | -116,585 | -1,495,619 | -7,478,095 | -10,469,333 | -52,346,665 |
