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 54,540,535, 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 | 54,540,535 | |
| -1 | -54,540,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,540,535.
Example:
1 x 54,540,535 = 54,540,535
and
-1 x -54,540,535 = 54,540,535
Notice both answers equal 54,540,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,540,535 and divide it by 2:
54,540,535 ÷ 2 = 27,270,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,270,267.5 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 | 54,540,535 | |
| -1 | -54,540,535 |
Now, we try dividing 54,540,535 by 3:
54,540,535 ÷ 3 = 18,180,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,180,178.3333 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 | 54,540,535 | |
| -1 | -54,540,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,540,535 ÷ 4 = 13,635,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,635,133.75 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 | 54,540,535 | |
| -1 | 54,540,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 89 | 445 | 623 | 3,115 | 17,509 | 87,545 | 122,563 | 612,815 | 1,558,301 | 7,791,505 | 10,908,107 | 54,540,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -89 | -445 | -623 | -3,115 | -17,509 | -87,545 | -122,563 | -612,815 | -1,558,301 | -7,791,505 | -10,908,107 | -54,540,535 |
