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 54,360,065, 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 | 54,360,065 | |
| -1 | -54,360,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,360,065.
Example:
1 x 54,360,065 = 54,360,065
and
-1 x -54,360,065 = 54,360,065
Notice both answers equal 54,360,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,360,065 and divide it by 2:
54,360,065 ÷ 2 = 27,180,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,180,032.5 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 | 54,360,065 | |
| -1 | -54,360,065 |
Now, we try dividing 54,360,065 by 3:
54,360,065 ÷ 3 = 18,120,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,120,021.6667 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 | 54,360,065 | |
| -1 | -54,360,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,360,065 ÷ 4 = 13,590,016.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,590,016.25 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 | 54,360,065 | |
| -1 | 54,360,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 233 | 1,165 | 1,609 | 6,757 | 8,045 | 33,785 | 46,661 | 233,305 | 374,897 | 1,874,485 | 10,872,013 | 54,360,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -233 | -1,165 | -1,609 | -6,757 | -8,045 | -33,785 | -46,661 | -233,305 | -374,897 | -1,874,485 | -10,872,013 | -54,360,065 |
