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 54,010,339, 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 | 54,010,339 | |
| -1 | -54,010,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,010,339.
Example:
1 x 54,010,339 = 54,010,339
and
-1 x -54,010,339 = 54,010,339
Notice both answers equal 54,010,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,010,339 and divide it by 2:
54,010,339 ÷ 2 = 27,005,169.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,005,169.5 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 | 54,010,339 | |
| -1 | -54,010,339 |
Now, we try dividing 54,010,339 by 3:
54,010,339 ÷ 3 = 18,003,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,003,446.3333 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 | 54,010,339 | |
| -1 | -54,010,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,010,339 ÷ 4 = 13,502,584.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,502,584.75 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 | 54,010,339 | |
| -1 | 54,010,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 53 | 71 | 463 | 1,643 | 2,201 | 3,763 | 14,353 | 24,539 | 32,873 | 116,653 | 760,709 | 1,019,063 | 1,742,269 | 54,010,339 |
| -1 | -31 | -53 | -71 | -463 | -1,643 | -2,201 | -3,763 | -14,353 | -24,539 | -32,873 | -116,653 | -760,709 | -1,019,063 | -1,742,269 | -54,010,339 |
