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 55,300,133, 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 | 55,300,133 | |
| -1 | -55,300,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,300,133.
Example:
1 x 55,300,133 = 55,300,133
and
-1 x -55,300,133 = 55,300,133
Notice both answers equal 55,300,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,300,133 and divide it by 2:
55,300,133 ÷ 2 = 27,650,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,650,066.5 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 | 55,300,133 | |
| -1 | -55,300,133 |
Now, we try dividing 55,300,133 by 3:
55,300,133 ÷ 3 = 18,433,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,433,377.6667 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 | 55,300,133 | |
| -1 | -55,300,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,300,133 ÷ 4 = 13,825,033.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,825,033.25 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 | 55,300,133 | |
| -1 | 55,300,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 443 | 1,049 | 3,101 | 7,343 | 7,531 | 17,833 | 52,717 | 124,831 | 464,707 | 3,252,949 | 7,900,019 | 55,300,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -443 | -1,049 | -3,101 | -7,343 | -7,531 | -17,833 | -52,717 | -124,831 | -464,707 | -3,252,949 | -7,900,019 | -55,300,133 |
