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 54,274,273, 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 | 54,274,273 | |
| -1 | -54,274,273 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,274,273.
Example:
1 x 54,274,273 = 54,274,273
and
-1 x -54,274,273 = 54,274,273
Notice both answers equal 54,274,273
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,274,273 and divide it by 2:
54,274,273 ÷ 2 = 27,137,136.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,137,136.5 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 | 54,274,273 | |
| -1 | -54,274,273 |
Now, we try dividing 54,274,273 by 3:
54,274,273 ÷ 3 = 18,091,424.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,091,424.3333 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 | 54,274,273 | |
| -1 | -54,274,273 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,274,273 ÷ 4 = 13,568,568.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,568,568.25 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 | 54,274,273 | |
| -1 | 54,274,273 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 31 | 163 | 467 | 713 | 3,749 | 5,053 | 10,741 | 14,477 | 76,121 | 116,219 | 332,971 | 1,750,783 | 2,359,751 | 54,274,273 |
| -1 | -23 | -31 | -163 | -467 | -713 | -3,749 | -5,053 | -10,741 | -14,477 | -76,121 | -116,219 | -332,971 | -1,750,783 | -2,359,751 | -54,274,273 |
