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 54,434,413, 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 | 54,434,413 | |
| -1 | -54,434,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,434,413.
Example:
1 x 54,434,413 = 54,434,413
and
-1 x -54,434,413 = 54,434,413
Notice both answers equal 54,434,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,434,413 and divide it by 2:
54,434,413 ÷ 2 = 27,217,206.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,217,206.5 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 | 54,434,413 | |
| -1 | -54,434,413 |
Now, we try dividing 54,434,413 by 3:
54,434,413 ÷ 3 = 18,144,804.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,144,804.3333 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 | 54,434,413 | |
| -1 | -54,434,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,434,413 ÷ 4 = 13,608,603.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,608,603.25 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 | 54,434,413 | |
| -1 | 54,434,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 211 | 499 | 517 | 2,321 | 5,489 | 9,917 | 23,453 | 105,289 | 109,087 | 257,983 | 1,158,179 | 4,948,583 | 54,434,413 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -211 | -499 | -517 | -2,321 | -5,489 | -9,917 | -23,453 | -105,289 | -109,087 | -257,983 | -1,158,179 | -4,948,583 | -54,434,413 |
