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 55,253,575, 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 | 55,253,575 | |
| -1 | -55,253,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,253,575.
Example:
1 x 55,253,575 = 55,253,575
and
-1 x -55,253,575 = 55,253,575
Notice both answers equal 55,253,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,253,575 and divide it by 2:
55,253,575 ÷ 2 = 27,626,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,626,787.5 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 | 55,253,575 | |
| -1 | -55,253,575 |
Now, we try dividing 55,253,575 by 3:
55,253,575 ÷ 3 = 18,417,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,417,858.3333 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 | 55,253,575 | |
| -1 | -55,253,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,253,575 ÷ 4 = 13,813,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,813,393.75 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 | 55,253,575 | |
| -1 | 55,253,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 197 | 325 | 863 | 985 | 2,561 | 4,315 | 4,925 | 11,219 | 12,805 | 21,575 | 56,095 | 64,025 | 170,011 | 280,475 | 850,055 | 2,210,143 | 4,250,275 | 11,050,715 | 55,253,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -197 | -325 | -863 | -985 | -2,561 | -4,315 | -4,925 | -11,219 | -12,805 | -21,575 | -56,095 | -64,025 | -170,011 | -280,475 | -850,055 | -2,210,143 | -4,250,275 | -11,050,715 | -55,253,575 |
