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 54,453,677, 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 | 54,453,677 | |
| -1 | -54,453,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,453,677.
Example:
1 x 54,453,677 = 54,453,677
and
-1 x -54,453,677 = 54,453,677
Notice both answers equal 54,453,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,453,677 and divide it by 2:
54,453,677 ÷ 2 = 27,226,838.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,226,838.5 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 | 54,453,677 | |
| -1 | -54,453,677 |
Now, we try dividing 54,453,677 by 3:
54,453,677 ÷ 3 = 18,151,225.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,151,225.6667 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 | 54,453,677 | |
| -1 | -54,453,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,453,677 ÷ 4 = 13,613,419.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,613,419.25 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 | 54,453,677 | |
| -1 | 54,453,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 37 | 551 | 703 | 1,073 | 2,671 | 20,387 | 50,749 | 77,459 | 98,827 | 1,471,721 | 1,877,713 | 2,865,983 | 54,453,677 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -37 | -551 | -703 | -1,073 | -2,671 | -20,387 | -50,749 | -77,459 | -98,827 | -1,471,721 | -1,877,713 | -2,865,983 | -54,453,677 |
