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 54,066,265, 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 | 54,066,265 | |
| -1 | -54,066,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,066,265.
Example:
1 x 54,066,265 = 54,066,265
and
-1 x -54,066,265 = 54,066,265
Notice both answers equal 54,066,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,066,265 and divide it by 2:
54,066,265 ÷ 2 = 27,033,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,033,132.5 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 | 54,066,265 | |
| -1 | -54,066,265 |
Now, we try dividing 54,066,265 by 3:
54,066,265 ÷ 3 = 18,022,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,022,088.3333 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 | 54,066,265 | |
| -1 | -54,066,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,066,265 ÷ 4 = 13,516,566.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,516,566.25 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 | 54,066,265 | |
| -1 | 54,066,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 2,365 | 22,861 | 114,305 | 251,471 | 983,023 | 1,257,355 | 4,915,115 | 10,813,253 | 54,066,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -2,365 | -22,861 | -114,305 | -251,471 | -983,023 | -1,257,355 | -4,915,115 | -10,813,253 | -54,066,265 |
