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 54,313,343, 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 | 54,313,343 | |
| -1 | -54,313,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,313,343.
Example:
1 x 54,313,343 = 54,313,343
and
-1 x -54,313,343 = 54,313,343
Notice both answers equal 54,313,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,313,343 and divide it by 2:
54,313,343 ÷ 2 = 27,156,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,156,671.5 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 | 54,313,343 | |
| -1 | -54,313,343 |
Now, we try dividing 54,313,343 by 3:
54,313,343 ÷ 3 = 18,104,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,104,447.6667 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 | 54,313,343 | |
| -1 | -54,313,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,313,343 ÷ 4 = 13,578,335.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,578,335.75 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 | 54,313,343 | |
| -1 | 54,313,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 43 | 133 | 301 | 817 | 5,719 | 9,497 | 66,479 | 180,443 | 408,371 | 1,263,101 | 2,858,597 | 7,759,049 | 54,313,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -43 | -133 | -301 | -817 | -5,719 | -9,497 | -66,479 | -180,443 | -408,371 | -1,263,101 | -2,858,597 | -7,759,049 | -54,313,343 |
