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 54,244,333, 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 | 54,244,333 | |
| -1 | -54,244,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,244,333.
Example:
1 x 54,244,333 = 54,244,333
and
-1 x -54,244,333 = 54,244,333
Notice both answers equal 54,244,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,244,333 and divide it by 2:
54,244,333 ÷ 2 = 27,122,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,122,166.5 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 | 54,244,333 | |
| -1 | -54,244,333 |
Now, we try dividing 54,244,333 by 3:
54,244,333 ÷ 3 = 18,081,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,081,444.3333 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 | 54,244,333 | |
| -1 | -54,244,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,244,333 ÷ 4 = 13,561,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,561,083.25 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 | 54,244,333 | |
| -1 | 54,244,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 139 | 143 | 1,529 | 1,807 | 2,729 | 19,877 | 30,019 | 35,477 | 379,331 | 390,247 | 4,172,641 | 4,931,303 | 54,244,333 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -139 | -143 | -1,529 | -1,807 | -2,729 | -19,877 | -30,019 | -35,477 | -379,331 | -390,247 | -4,172,641 | -4,931,303 | -54,244,333 |
