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 54,552,029, 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 | 54,552,029 | |
| -1 | -54,552,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,552,029.
Example:
1 x 54,552,029 = 54,552,029
and
-1 x -54,552,029 = 54,552,029
Notice both answers equal 54,552,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,552,029 and divide it by 2:
54,552,029 ÷ 2 = 27,276,014.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,276,014.5 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 | 54,552,029 | |
| -1 | -54,552,029 |
Now, we try dividing 54,552,029 by 3:
54,552,029 ÷ 3 = 18,184,009.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,184,009.6667 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 | 54,552,029 | |
| -1 | -54,552,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,552,029 ÷ 4 = 13,638,007.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,638,007.25 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 | 54,552,029 | |
| -1 | 54,552,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 149 | 193 | 271 | 1,043 | 1,351 | 1,897 | 28,757 | 40,379 | 52,303 | 201,299 | 282,653 | 366,121 | 7,793,147 | 54,552,029 |
| -1 | -7 | -149 | -193 | -271 | -1,043 | -1,351 | -1,897 | -28,757 | -40,379 | -52,303 | -201,299 | -282,653 | -366,121 | -7,793,147 | -54,552,029 |
