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 54,013,115, 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 | 54,013,115 | |
| -1 | -54,013,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,013,115.
Example:
1 x 54,013,115 = 54,013,115
and
-1 x -54,013,115 = 54,013,115
Notice both answers equal 54,013,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,013,115 and divide it by 2:
54,013,115 ÷ 2 = 27,006,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,006,557.5 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 | 54,013,115 | |
| -1 | -54,013,115 |
Now, we try dividing 54,013,115 by 3:
54,013,115 ÷ 3 = 18,004,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,004,371.6667 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 | 54,013,115 | |
| -1 | -54,013,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,013,115 ÷ 4 = 13,503,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,503,278.75 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 | 54,013,115 | |
| -1 | 54,013,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 181 | 905 | 2,353 | 4,591 | 11,765 | 22,955 | 59,683 | 298,415 | 830,971 | 4,154,855 | 10,802,623 | 54,013,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -181 | -905 | -2,353 | -4,591 | -11,765 | -22,955 | -59,683 | -298,415 | -830,971 | -4,154,855 | -10,802,623 | -54,013,115 |
