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 54,744,755, 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 | 54,744,755 | |
| -1 | -54,744,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 54,744,755.
Example:
1 x 54,744,755 = 54,744,755
and
-1 x -54,744,755 = 54,744,755
Notice both answers equal 54,744,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 54,744,755 and divide it by 2:
54,744,755 ÷ 2 = 27,372,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,372,377.5 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 | 54,744,755 | |
| -1 | -54,744,755 |
Now, we try dividing 54,744,755 by 3:
54,744,755 ÷ 3 = 18,248,251.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,248,251.6667 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 | 54,744,755 | |
| -1 | -54,744,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
54,744,755 ÷ 4 = 13,686,188.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,686,188.75 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 | 54,744,755 | |
| -1 | 54,744,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 61 | 65 | 305 | 793 | 3,965 | 13,807 | 69,035 | 179,491 | 842,227 | 897,455 | 4,211,135 | 10,948,951 | 54,744,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -61 | -65 | -305 | -793 | -3,965 | -13,807 | -69,035 | -179,491 | -842,227 | -897,455 | -4,211,135 | -10,948,951 | -54,744,755 |
