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 54,355,301, 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 | 54,355,301 | |
| -1 | -54,355,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,355,301.
Example:
1 x 54,355,301 = 54,355,301
and
-1 x -54,355,301 = 54,355,301
Notice both answers equal 54,355,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,355,301 and divide it by 2:
54,355,301 ÷ 2 = 27,177,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,177,650.5 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 | 54,355,301 | |
| -1 | -54,355,301 |
Now, we try dividing 54,355,301 by 3:
54,355,301 ÷ 3 = 18,118,433.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,118,433.6667 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 | 54,355,301 | |
| -1 | -54,355,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,355,301 ÷ 4 = 13,588,825.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,588,825.25 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 | 54,355,301 | |
| -1 | 54,355,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 169 | 1,001 | 1,183 | 1,859 | 4,177 | 13,013 | 29,239 | 45,947 | 54,301 | 321,629 | 380,107 | 597,311 | 705,913 | 4,181,177 | 4,941,391 | 7,765,043 | 54,355,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -169 | -1,001 | -1,183 | -1,859 | -4,177 | -13,013 | -29,239 | -45,947 | -54,301 | -321,629 | -380,107 | -597,311 | -705,913 | -4,181,177 | -4,941,391 | -7,765,043 | -54,355,301 |
