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 55,080,833, 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 | 55,080,833 | |
| -1 | -55,080,833 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,080,833.
Example:
1 x 55,080,833 = 55,080,833
and
-1 x -55,080,833 = 55,080,833
Notice both answers equal 55,080,833
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,080,833 and divide it by 2:
55,080,833 ÷ 2 = 27,540,416.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,540,416.5 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 | 55,080,833 | |
| -1 | -55,080,833 |
Now, we try dividing 55,080,833 by 3:
55,080,833 ÷ 3 = 18,360,277.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,360,277.6667 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 | 55,080,833 | |
| -1 | -55,080,833 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,080,833 ÷ 4 = 13,770,208.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,770,208.25 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 | 55,080,833 | |
| -1 | 55,080,833 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 53 | 113 | 541 | 901 | 1,921 | 5,989 | 9,197 | 28,673 | 61,133 | 101,813 | 487,441 | 1,039,261 | 3,240,049 | 55,080,833 |
| -1 | -17 | -53 | -113 | -541 | -901 | -1,921 | -5,989 | -9,197 | -28,673 | -61,133 | -101,813 | -487,441 | -1,039,261 | -3,240,049 | -55,080,833 |
