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 54,301,261, 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 | 54,301,261 | |
| -1 | -54,301,261 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,301,261.
Example:
1 x 54,301,261 = 54,301,261
and
-1 x -54,301,261 = 54,301,261
Notice both answers equal 54,301,261
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,301,261 and divide it by 2:
54,301,261 ÷ 2 = 27,150,630.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,150,630.5 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 | 54,301,261 | |
| -1 | -54,301,261 |
Now, we try dividing 54,301,261 by 3:
54,301,261 ÷ 3 = 18,100,420.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,100,420.3333 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 | 54,301,261 | |
| -1 | -54,301,261 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,301,261 ÷ 4 = 13,575,315.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,575,315.25 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 | 54,301,261 | |
| -1 | 54,301,261 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 49 | 151 | 179 | 287 | 1,057 | 1,253 | 2,009 | 6,191 | 7,339 | 7,399 | 8,771 | 27,029 | 43,337 | 51,373 | 189,203 | 303,359 | 359,611 | 1,108,189 | 1,324,421 | 7,757,323 | 54,301,261 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -49 | -151 | -179 | -287 | -1,057 | -1,253 | -2,009 | -6,191 | -7,339 | -7,399 | -8,771 | -27,029 | -43,337 | -51,373 | -189,203 | -303,359 | -359,611 | -1,108,189 | -1,324,421 | -7,757,323 | -54,301,261 |
