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 54,350,543, 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 | 54,350,543 | |
| -1 | -54,350,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,350,543.
Example:
1 x 54,350,543 = 54,350,543
and
-1 x -54,350,543 = 54,350,543
Notice both answers equal 54,350,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,350,543 and divide it by 2:
54,350,543 ÷ 2 = 27,175,271.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,175,271.5 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 | 54,350,543 | |
| -1 | -54,350,543 |
Now, we try dividing 54,350,543 by 3:
54,350,543 ÷ 3 = 18,116,847.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,116,847.6667 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 | 54,350,543 | |
| -1 | -54,350,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,350,543 ÷ 4 = 13,587,635.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,587,635.75 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 | 54,350,543 | |
| -1 | 54,350,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 107 | 533 | 953 | 1,391 | 4,387 | 12,389 | 39,073 | 57,031 | 101,971 | 507,949 | 1,325,623 | 4,180,811 | 54,350,543 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -107 | -533 | -953 | -1,391 | -4,387 | -12,389 | -39,073 | -57,031 | -101,971 | -507,949 | -1,325,623 | -4,180,811 | -54,350,543 |
