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 54,524,219, 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 | 54,524,219 | |
| -1 | -54,524,219 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,524,219.
Example:
1 x 54,524,219 = 54,524,219
and
-1 x -54,524,219 = 54,524,219
Notice both answers equal 54,524,219
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,524,219 and divide it by 2:
54,524,219 ÷ 2 = 27,262,109.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,262,109.5 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 | 54,524,219 | |
| -1 | -54,524,219 |
Now, we try dividing 54,524,219 by 3:
54,524,219 ÷ 3 = 18,174,739.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,174,739.6667 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 | 54,524,219 | |
| -1 | -54,524,219 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,524,219 ÷ 4 = 13,631,054.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,631,054.75 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 | 54,524,219 | |
| -1 | 54,524,219 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 137 | 571 | 697 | 2,329 | 5,617 | 9,707 | 23,411 | 78,227 | 95,489 | 397,987 | 1,329,859 | 3,207,307 | 54,524,219 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -137 | -571 | -697 | -2,329 | -5,617 | -9,707 | -23,411 | -78,227 | -95,489 | -397,987 | -1,329,859 | -3,207,307 | -54,524,219 |
