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 54,935,375, 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 | 54,935,375 | |
| -1 | -54,935,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,935,375.
Example:
1 x 54,935,375 = 54,935,375
and
-1 x -54,935,375 = 54,935,375
Notice both answers equal 54,935,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,935,375 and divide it by 2:
54,935,375 ÷ 2 = 27,467,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,467,687.5 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 | 54,935,375 | |
| -1 | -54,935,375 |
Now, we try dividing 54,935,375 by 3:
54,935,375 ÷ 3 = 18,311,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,311,791.6667 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 | 54,935,375 | |
| -1 | -54,935,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,935,375 ÷ 4 = 13,733,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,733,843.75 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 | 54,935,375 | |
| -1 | 54,935,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 1,375 | 39,953 | 199,765 | 439,483 | 998,825 | 2,197,415 | 4,994,125 | 10,987,075 | 54,935,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -1,375 | -39,953 | -199,765 | -439,483 | -998,825 | -2,197,415 | -4,994,125 | -10,987,075 | -54,935,375 |
