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 53,311,133, 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 | 53,311,133 | |
| -1 | -53,311,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,311,133.
Example:
1 x 53,311,133 = 53,311,133
and
-1 x -53,311,133 = 53,311,133
Notice both answers equal 53,311,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,311,133 and divide it by 2:
53,311,133 ÷ 2 = 26,655,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,655,566.5 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 | 53,311,133 | |
| -1 | -53,311,133 |
Now, we try dividing 53,311,133 by 3:
53,311,133 ÷ 3 = 17,770,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,770,377.6667 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 | 53,311,133 | |
| -1 | -53,311,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,311,133 ÷ 4 = 13,327,783.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,327,783.25 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 | 53,311,133 | |
| -1 | 53,311,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 61 | 101 | 509 | 1,037 | 1,717 | 6,161 | 8,653 | 31,049 | 51,409 | 104,737 | 527,833 | 873,953 | 3,135,949 | 53,311,133 |
| -1 | -17 | -61 | -101 | -509 | -1,037 | -1,717 | -6,161 | -8,653 | -31,049 | -51,409 | -104,737 | -527,833 | -873,953 | -3,135,949 | -53,311,133 |
