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 54,150,305, 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 | 54,150,305 | |
| -1 | -54,150,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,150,305.
Example:
1 x 54,150,305 = 54,150,305
and
-1 x -54,150,305 = 54,150,305
Notice both answers equal 54,150,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,150,305 and divide it by 2:
54,150,305 ÷ 2 = 27,075,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,075,152.5 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 | 54,150,305 | |
| -1 | -54,150,305 |
Now, we try dividing 54,150,305 by 3:
54,150,305 ÷ 3 = 18,050,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,050,101.6667 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 | 54,150,305 | |
| -1 | -54,150,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,150,305 ÷ 4 = 13,537,576.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,537,576.25 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 | 54,150,305 | |
| -1 | 54,150,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 73 | 365 | 803 | 4,015 | 13,487 | 67,435 | 148,357 | 741,785 | 984,551 | 4,922,755 | 10,830,061 | 54,150,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -73 | -365 | -803 | -4,015 | -13,487 | -67,435 | -148,357 | -741,785 | -984,551 | -4,922,755 | -10,830,061 | -54,150,305 |
