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 54,444,401, 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 | 54,444,401 | |
| -1 | -54,444,401 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,444,401.
Example:
1 x 54,444,401 = 54,444,401
and
-1 x -54,444,401 = 54,444,401
Notice both answers equal 54,444,401
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,444,401 and divide it by 2:
54,444,401 ÷ 2 = 27,222,200.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,222,200.5 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 | 54,444,401 | |
| -1 | -54,444,401 |
Now, we try dividing 54,444,401 by 3:
54,444,401 ÷ 3 = 18,148,133.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,148,133.6667 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 | 54,444,401 | |
| -1 | -54,444,401 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,444,401 ÷ 4 = 13,611,100.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,611,100.25 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 | 54,444,401 | |
| -1 | 54,444,401 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 67 | 341 | 737 | 2,077 | 2,383 | 22,847 | 26,213 | 73,873 | 159,661 | 812,603 | 1,756,271 | 4,949,491 | 54,444,401 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -67 | -341 | -737 | -2,077 | -2,383 | -22,847 | -26,213 | -73,873 | -159,661 | -812,603 | -1,756,271 | -4,949,491 | -54,444,401 |
