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 54,353,573, 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 | 54,353,573 | |
| -1 | -54,353,573 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,353,573.
Example:
1 x 54,353,573 = 54,353,573
and
-1 x -54,353,573 = 54,353,573
Notice both answers equal 54,353,573
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,353,573 and divide it by 2:
54,353,573 ÷ 2 = 27,176,786.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,176,786.5 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 | 54,353,573 | |
| -1 | -54,353,573 |
Now, we try dividing 54,353,573 by 3:
54,353,573 ÷ 3 = 18,117,857.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,117,857.6667 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 | 54,353,573 | |
| -1 | -54,353,573 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,353,573 ÷ 4 = 13,588,393.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,588,393.25 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 | 54,353,573 | |
| -1 | 54,353,573 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 47 | 59 | 799 | 1,003 | 1,153 | 2,773 | 19,601 | 47,141 | 54,191 | 68,027 | 921,247 | 1,156,459 | 3,197,269 | 54,353,573 |
| -1 | -17 | -47 | -59 | -799 | -1,003 | -1,153 | -2,773 | -19,601 | -47,141 | -54,191 | -68,027 | -921,247 | -1,156,459 | -3,197,269 | -54,353,573 |
