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 54,234,349, 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 | 54,234,349 | |
| -1 | -54,234,349 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,234,349.
Example:
1 x 54,234,349 = 54,234,349
and
-1 x -54,234,349 = 54,234,349
Notice both answers equal 54,234,349
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,234,349 and divide it by 2:
54,234,349 ÷ 2 = 27,117,174.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,117,174.5 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 | 54,234,349 | |
| -1 | -54,234,349 |
Now, we try dividing 54,234,349 by 3:
54,234,349 ÷ 3 = 18,078,116.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,078,116.3333 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 | 54,234,349 | |
| -1 | -54,234,349 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,234,349 ÷ 4 = 13,558,587.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,558,587.25 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 | 54,234,349 | |
| -1 | 54,234,349 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 97 | 533 | 1,049 | 1,261 | 3,977 | 13,637 | 43,009 | 51,701 | 101,753 | 559,117 | 1,322,789 | 4,171,873 | 54,234,349 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -97 | -533 | -1,049 | -1,261 | -3,977 | -13,637 | -43,009 | -51,701 | -101,753 | -559,117 | -1,322,789 | -4,171,873 | -54,234,349 |
