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 54,467,435, 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 | 54,467,435 | |
| -1 | -54,467,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,467,435.
Example:
1 x 54,467,435 = 54,467,435
and
-1 x -54,467,435 = 54,467,435
Notice both answers equal 54,467,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,467,435 and divide it by 2:
54,467,435 ÷ 2 = 27,233,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,233,717.5 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 | 54,467,435 | |
| -1 | -54,467,435 |
Now, we try dividing 54,467,435 by 3:
54,467,435 ÷ 3 = 18,155,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,155,811.6667 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 | 54,467,435 | |
| -1 | -54,467,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,467,435 ÷ 4 = 13,616,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,616,858.75 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 | 54,467,435 | |
| -1 | 54,467,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 563 | 1,759 | 2,815 | 6,193 | 8,795 | 19,349 | 30,965 | 96,745 | 990,317 | 4,951,585 | 10,893,487 | 54,467,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -563 | -1,759 | -2,815 | -6,193 | -8,795 | -19,349 | -30,965 | -96,745 | -990,317 | -4,951,585 | -10,893,487 | -54,467,435 |
