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 54,747,737, 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 | 54,747,737 | |
| -1 | -54,747,737 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,747,737.
Example:
1 x 54,747,737 = 54,747,737
and
-1 x -54,747,737 = 54,747,737
Notice both answers equal 54,747,737
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,747,737 and divide it by 2:
54,747,737 ÷ 2 = 27,373,868.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,373,868.5 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 | 54,747,737 | |
| -1 | -54,747,737 |
Now, we try dividing 54,747,737 by 3:
54,747,737 ÷ 3 = 18,249,245.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,249,245.6667 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 | 54,747,737 | |
| -1 | -54,747,737 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,747,737 ÷ 4 = 13,686,934.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,686,934.25 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 | 54,747,737 | |
| -1 | 54,747,737 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 73 | 319 | 803 | 2,117 | 2,351 | 23,287 | 25,861 | 68,179 | 171,623 | 749,969 | 1,887,853 | 4,977,067 | 54,747,737 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -73 | -319 | -803 | -2,117 | -2,351 | -23,287 | -25,861 | -68,179 | -171,623 | -749,969 | -1,887,853 | -4,977,067 | -54,747,737 |
