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 54,350,545, 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 | 54,350,545 | |
| -1 | -54,350,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,350,545.
Example:
1 x 54,350,545 = 54,350,545
and
-1 x -54,350,545 = 54,350,545
Notice both answers equal 54,350,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,350,545 and divide it by 2:
54,350,545 ÷ 2 = 27,175,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,175,272.5 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 | 54,350,545 | |
| -1 | -54,350,545 |
Now, we try dividing 54,350,545 by 3:
54,350,545 ÷ 3 = 18,116,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,116,848.3333 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 | 54,350,545 | |
| -1 | -54,350,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,350,545 ÷ 4 = 13,587,636.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,587,636.25 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 | 54,350,545 | |
| -1 | 54,350,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 173 | 865 | 3,287 | 3,307 | 16,435 | 16,535 | 62,833 | 314,165 | 572,111 | 2,860,555 | 10,870,109 | 54,350,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -173 | -865 | -3,287 | -3,307 | -16,435 | -16,535 | -62,833 | -314,165 | -572,111 | -2,860,555 | -10,870,109 | -54,350,545 |
