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 54,563,735, 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 | 54,563,735 | |
| -1 | -54,563,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,563,735.
Example:
1 x 54,563,735 = 54,563,735
and
-1 x -54,563,735 = 54,563,735
Notice both answers equal 54,563,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,563,735 and divide it by 2:
54,563,735 ÷ 2 = 27,281,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,281,867.5 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 | 54,563,735 | |
| -1 | -54,563,735 |
Now, we try dividing 54,563,735 by 3:
54,563,735 ÷ 3 = 18,187,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,187,911.6667 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 | 54,563,735 | |
| -1 | -54,563,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,563,735 ÷ 4 = 13,640,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,640,933.75 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 | 54,563,735 | |
| -1 | 54,563,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 103 | 505 | 515 | 1,049 | 5,245 | 10,403 | 52,015 | 105,949 | 108,047 | 529,745 | 540,235 | 10,912,747 | 54,563,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -103 | -505 | -515 | -1,049 | -5,245 | -10,403 | -52,015 | -105,949 | -108,047 | -529,745 | -540,235 | -10,912,747 | -54,563,735 |
