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 54,603,635, 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 | 54,603,635 | |
| -1 | -54,603,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,603,635.
Example:
1 x 54,603,635 = 54,603,635
and
-1 x -54,603,635 = 54,603,635
Notice both answers equal 54,603,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,603,635 and divide it by 2:
54,603,635 ÷ 2 = 27,301,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,301,817.5 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 | 54,603,635 | |
| -1 | -54,603,635 |
Now, we try dividing 54,603,635 by 3:
54,603,635 ÷ 3 = 18,201,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,201,211.6667 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 | 54,603,635 | |
| -1 | -54,603,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,603,635 ÷ 4 = 13,650,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,650,908.75 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 | 54,603,635 | |
| -1 | 54,603,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 73 | 211 | 365 | 709 | 1,055 | 3,545 | 15,403 | 51,757 | 77,015 | 149,599 | 258,785 | 747,995 | 10,920,727 | 54,603,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -73 | -211 | -365 | -709 | -1,055 | -3,545 | -15,403 | -51,757 | -77,015 | -149,599 | -258,785 | -747,995 | -10,920,727 | -54,603,635 |
