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 54,334,465, 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 | 54,334,465 | |
| -1 | -54,334,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,334,465.
Example:
1 x 54,334,465 = 54,334,465
and
-1 x -54,334,465 = 54,334,465
Notice both answers equal 54,334,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,334,465 and divide it by 2:
54,334,465 ÷ 2 = 27,167,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,167,232.5 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 | 54,334,465 | |
| -1 | -54,334,465 |
Now, we try dividing 54,334,465 by 3:
54,334,465 ÷ 3 = 18,111,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,111,488.3333 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 | 54,334,465 | |
| -1 | -54,334,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,334,465 ÷ 4 = 13,583,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,583,616.25 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 | 54,334,465 | |
| -1 | 54,334,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 101 | 505 | 1,717 | 6,329 | 8,585 | 31,645 | 107,593 | 537,965 | 639,229 | 3,196,145 | 10,866,893 | 54,334,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -101 | -505 | -1,717 | -6,329 | -8,585 | -31,645 | -107,593 | -537,965 | -639,229 | -3,196,145 | -10,866,893 | -54,334,465 |
