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 54,233,305, 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 | 54,233,305 | |
| -1 | -54,233,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,233,305.
Example:
1 x 54,233,305 = 54,233,305
and
-1 x -54,233,305 = 54,233,305
Notice both answers equal 54,233,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,233,305 and divide it by 2:
54,233,305 ÷ 2 = 27,116,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,116,652.5 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 | 54,233,305 | |
| -1 | -54,233,305 |
Now, we try dividing 54,233,305 by 3:
54,233,305 ÷ 3 = 18,077,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,077,768.3333 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 | 54,233,305 | |
| -1 | -54,233,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,233,305 ÷ 4 = 13,558,326.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,558,326.25 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 | 54,233,305 | |
| -1 | 54,233,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 41,879 | 209,395 | 293,153 | 1,465,765 | 1,549,523 | 7,747,615 | 10,846,661 | 54,233,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -41,879 | -209,395 | -293,153 | -1,465,765 | -1,549,523 | -7,747,615 | -10,846,661 | -54,233,305 |
