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 54,724,805, 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 | 54,724,805 | |
| -1 | -54,724,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,724,805.
Example:
1 x 54,724,805 = 54,724,805
and
-1 x -54,724,805 = 54,724,805
Notice both answers equal 54,724,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,724,805 and divide it by 2:
54,724,805 ÷ 2 = 27,362,402.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,362,402.5 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 | 54,724,805 | |
| -1 | -54,724,805 |
Now, we try dividing 54,724,805 by 3:
54,724,805 ÷ 3 = 18,241,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,241,601.6667 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 | 54,724,805 | |
| -1 | -54,724,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,724,805 ÷ 4 = 13,681,201.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,681,201.25 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 | 54,724,805 | |
| -1 | 54,724,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 163 | 415 | 809 | 815 | 4,045 | 13,529 | 67,147 | 67,645 | 131,867 | 335,735 | 659,335 | 10,944,961 | 54,724,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -163 | -415 | -809 | -815 | -4,045 | -13,529 | -67,147 | -67,645 | -131,867 | -335,735 | -659,335 | -10,944,961 | -54,724,805 |
