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 54,933,055, 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 | 54,933,055 | |
| -1 | -54,933,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,933,055.
Example:
1 x 54,933,055 = 54,933,055
and
-1 x -54,933,055 = 54,933,055
Notice both answers equal 54,933,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,933,055 and divide it by 2:
54,933,055 ÷ 2 = 27,466,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,466,527.5 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 | 54,933,055 | |
| -1 | -54,933,055 |
Now, we try dividing 54,933,055 by 3:
54,933,055 ÷ 3 = 18,311,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,311,018.3333 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 | 54,933,055 | |
| -1 | -54,933,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,933,055 ÷ 4 = 13,733,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,733,263.75 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 | 54,933,055 | |
| -1 | 54,933,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 271 | 355 | 571 | 1,355 | 2,855 | 19,241 | 40,541 | 96,205 | 154,741 | 202,705 | 773,705 | 10,986,611 | 54,933,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -271 | -355 | -571 | -1,355 | -2,855 | -19,241 | -40,541 | -96,205 | -154,741 | -202,705 | -773,705 | -10,986,611 | -54,933,055 |
