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 54,430,327, 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 | 54,430,327 | |
| -1 | -54,430,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,430,327.
Example:
1 x 54,430,327 = 54,430,327
and
-1 x -54,430,327 = 54,430,327
Notice both answers equal 54,430,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,430,327 and divide it by 2:
54,430,327 ÷ 2 = 27,215,163.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,215,163.5 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 | 54,430,327 | |
| -1 | -54,430,327 |
Now, we try dividing 54,430,327 by 3:
54,430,327 ÷ 3 = 18,143,442.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,143,442.3333 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 | 54,430,327 | |
| -1 | -54,430,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,430,327 ÷ 4 = 13,607,581.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,607,581.75 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 | 54,430,327 | |
| -1 | 54,430,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 49 | 217 | 343 | 1,519 | 5,119 | 10,633 | 35,833 | 158,689 | 250,831 | 1,110,823 | 1,755,817 | 7,775,761 | 54,430,327 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -49 | -217 | -343 | -1,519 | -5,119 | -10,633 | -35,833 | -158,689 | -250,831 | -1,110,823 | -1,755,817 | -7,775,761 | -54,430,327 |
