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 53,554,501, 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 | 53,554,501 | |
| -1 | -53,554,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 53,554,501.
Example:
1 x 53,554,501 = 53,554,501
and
-1 x -53,554,501 = 53,554,501
Notice both answers equal 53,554,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 53,554,501 and divide it by 2:
53,554,501 ÷ 2 = 26,777,250.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 26,777,250.5 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 | 53,554,501 | |
| -1 | -53,554,501 |
Now, we try dividing 53,554,501 by 3:
53,554,501 ÷ 3 = 17,851,500.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,851,500.3333 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 | 53,554,501 | |
| -1 | -53,554,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
53,554,501 ÷ 4 = 13,388,625.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,388,625.25 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 | 53,554,501 | |
| -1 | 53,554,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 49 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 539 | 637 | 1,001 | 7,007 | 7,643 | 53,501 | 84,073 | 99,359 | 374,507 | 588,511 | 695,513 | 1,092,949 | 4,119,577 | 4,868,591 | 7,650,643 | 53,554,501 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -49 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -539 | -637 | -1,001 | -7,007 | -7,643 | -53,501 | -84,073 | -99,359 | -374,507 | -588,511 | -695,513 | -1,092,949 | -4,119,577 | -4,868,591 | -7,650,643 | -53,554,501 |
