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 54,371,305, 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 | 54,371,305 | |
| -1 | -54,371,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,371,305.
Example:
1 x 54,371,305 = 54,371,305
and
-1 x -54,371,305 = 54,371,305
Notice both answers equal 54,371,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,371,305 and divide it by 2:
54,371,305 ÷ 2 = 27,185,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,185,652.5 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 | 54,371,305 | |
| -1 | -54,371,305 |
Now, we try dividing 54,371,305 by 3:
54,371,305 ÷ 3 = 18,123,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,123,768.3333 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 | 54,371,305 | |
| -1 | -54,371,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,371,305 ÷ 4 = 13,592,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,592,826.25 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 | 54,371,305 | |
| -1 | 54,371,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 173 | 239 | 263 | 865 | 1,195 | 1,315 | 41,347 | 45,499 | 62,857 | 206,735 | 227,495 | 314,285 | 10,874,261 | 54,371,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -173 | -239 | -263 | -865 | -1,195 | -1,315 | -41,347 | -45,499 | -62,857 | -206,735 | -227,495 | -314,285 | -10,874,261 | -54,371,305 |
