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 54,265,055, 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 | 54,265,055 | |
| -1 | -54,265,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,265,055.
Example:
1 x 54,265,055 = 54,265,055
and
-1 x -54,265,055 = 54,265,055
Notice both answers equal 54,265,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,265,055 and divide it by 2:
54,265,055 ÷ 2 = 27,132,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,132,527.5 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 | 54,265,055 | |
| -1 | -54,265,055 |
Now, we try dividing 54,265,055 by 3:
54,265,055 ÷ 3 = 18,088,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,088,351.6667 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 | 54,265,055 | |
| -1 | -54,265,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,265,055 ÷ 4 = 13,566,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,566,263.75 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 | 54,265,055 | |
| -1 | 54,265,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 149 | 169 | 431 | 745 | 845 | 1,937 | 2,155 | 5,603 | 9,685 | 25,181 | 28,015 | 64,219 | 72,839 | 125,905 | 321,095 | 364,195 | 834,847 | 4,174,235 | 10,853,011 | 54,265,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -149 | -169 | -431 | -745 | -845 | -1,937 | -2,155 | -5,603 | -9,685 | -25,181 | -28,015 | -64,219 | -72,839 | -125,905 | -321,095 | -364,195 | -834,847 | -4,174,235 | -10,853,011 | -54,265,055 |
