How do I find the factor combinations of the number 54,046,363?

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 54,046,363, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 54,046,363
-1 -54,046,363

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,046,363.

Example:
1 x 54,046,363 = 54,046,363
and
-1 x -54,046,363 = 54,046,363
Notice both answers equal 54,046,363

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,046,363 and divide it by 2:

54,046,363 ÷ 2 = 27,023,181.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,023,181.5 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 54,046,363
-1 -54,046,363

Now, we try dividing 54,046,363 by 3:

54,046,363 ÷ 3 = 18,015,454.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,015,454.3333 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 54,046,363
-1 -54,046,363

Let's try dividing by 4:

54,046,363 ÷ 4 = 13,511,590.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,511,590.75 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 54,046,363
-1 54,046,363
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

174983971375816799594,0674,7536,7138,05111,37113,28956,35779,59793,023394,499557,179651,1611,102,9877,720,90954,046,363
-1-7-49-83-97-137-581-679-959-4,067-4,753-6,713-8,051-11,371-13,289-56,357-79,597-93,023-394,499-557,179-651,161-1,102,987-7,720,909-54,046,363
