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 54,371,303, 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 | 54,371,303 | |
| -1 | -54,371,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,371,303.
Example:
1 x 54,371,303 = 54,371,303
and
-1 x -54,371,303 = 54,371,303
Notice both answers equal 54,371,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,371,303 and divide it by 2:
54,371,303 ÷ 2 = 27,185,651.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,185,651.5 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 | 54,371,303 | |
| -1 | -54,371,303 |
Now, we try dividing 54,371,303 by 3:
54,371,303 ÷ 3 = 18,123,767.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,123,767.6667 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 | 54,371,303 | |
| -1 | -54,371,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,371,303 ÷ 4 = 13,592,825.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,592,825.75 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 | 54,371,303 | |
| -1 | 54,371,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 71 | 217 | 497 | 2,201 | 3,529 | 15,407 | 24,703 | 109,399 | 250,559 | 765,793 | 1,753,913 | 7,767,329 | 54,371,303 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -71 | -217 | -497 | -2,201 | -3,529 | -15,407 | -24,703 | -109,399 | -250,559 | -765,793 | -1,753,913 | -7,767,329 | -54,371,303 |
