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 55,052,195, 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 | 55,052,195 | |
| -1 | -55,052,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,052,195.
Example:
1 x 55,052,195 = 55,052,195
and
-1 x -55,052,195 = 55,052,195
Notice both answers equal 55,052,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,052,195 and divide it by 2:
55,052,195 ÷ 2 = 27,526,097.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,526,097.5 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 | 55,052,195 | |
| -1 | -55,052,195 |
Now, we try dividing 55,052,195 by 3:
55,052,195 ÷ 3 = 18,350,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,350,731.6667 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 | 55,052,195 | |
| -1 | -55,052,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,052,195 ÷ 4 = 13,763,048.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,763,048.75 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 | 55,052,195 | |
| -1 | 55,052,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 61 | 269 | 305 | 671 | 1,345 | 2,959 | 3,355 | 3,721 | 14,795 | 16,409 | 18,605 | 40,931 | 82,045 | 180,499 | 204,655 | 902,495 | 1,000,949 | 5,004,745 | 11,010,439 | 55,052,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -61 | -269 | -305 | -671 | -1,345 | -2,959 | -3,355 | -3,721 | -14,795 | -16,409 | -18,605 | -40,931 | -82,045 | -180,499 | -204,655 | -902,495 | -1,000,949 | -5,004,745 | -11,010,439 | -55,052,195 |
