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 5,500,105, 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 | 5,500,105 | |
| -1 | -5,500,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,500,105.
Example:
1 x 5,500,105 = 5,500,105
and
-1 x -5,500,105 = 5,500,105
Notice both answers equal 5,500,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,500,105 and divide it by 2:
5,500,105 ÷ 2 = 2,750,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,750,052.5 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 | 5,500,105 | |
| -1 | -5,500,105 |
Now, we try dividing 5,500,105 by 3:
5,500,105 ÷ 3 = 1,833,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,833,368.3333 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 | 5,500,105 | |
| -1 | -5,500,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,500,105 ÷ 4 = 1,375,026.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,375,026.25 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 | 5,500,105 | |
| -1 | 5,500,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 169 | 283 | 299 | 845 | 1,415 | 1,495 | 3,679 | 3,887 | 6,509 | 18,395 | 19,435 | 32,545 | 47,827 | 84,617 | 239,135 | 423,085 | 1,100,021 | 5,500,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -169 | -283 | -299 | -845 | -1,415 | -1,495 | -3,679 | -3,887 | -6,509 | -18,395 | -19,435 | -32,545 | -47,827 | -84,617 | -239,135 | -423,085 | -1,100,021 | -5,500,105 |
