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 54,644,597, 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 | 54,644,597 | |
| -1 | -54,644,597 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,644,597.
Example:
1 x 54,644,597 = 54,644,597
and
-1 x -54,644,597 = 54,644,597
Notice both answers equal 54,644,597
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,644,597 and divide it by 2:
54,644,597 ÷ 2 = 27,322,298.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,322,298.5 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 | 54,644,597 | |
| -1 | -54,644,597 |
Now, we try dividing 54,644,597 by 3:
54,644,597 ÷ 3 = 18,214,865.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,214,865.6667 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 | 54,644,597 | |
| -1 | -54,644,597 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,644,597 ÷ 4 = 13,661,149.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,661,149.25 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 | 54,644,597 | |
| -1 | 54,644,597 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 67 | 259 | 329 | 469 | 1,739 | 2,479 | 3,149 | 4,489 | 12,173 | 17,353 | 22,043 | 31,423 | 116,513 | 166,093 | 210,983 | 815,591 | 1,162,651 | 1,476,881 | 7,806,371 | 54,644,597 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -67 | -259 | -329 | -469 | -1,739 | -2,479 | -3,149 | -4,489 | -12,173 | -17,353 | -22,043 | -31,423 | -116,513 | -166,093 | -210,983 | -815,591 | -1,162,651 | -1,476,881 | -7,806,371 | -54,644,597 |
