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 555,200,035, 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 | 555,200,035 | |
| -1 | -555,200,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 555,200,035.
Example:
1 x 555,200,035 = 555,200,035
and
-1 x -555,200,035 = 555,200,035
Notice both answers equal 555,200,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 555,200,035 and divide it by 2:
555,200,035 ÷ 2 = 277,600,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 277,600,017.5 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 | 555,200,035 | |
| -1 | -555,200,035 |
Now, we try dividing 555,200,035 by 3:
555,200,035 ÷ 3 = 185,066,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 185,066,678.3333 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 | 555,200,035 | |
| -1 | -555,200,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
555,200,035 ÷ 4 = 138,800,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 138,800,008.75 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 | 555,200,035 | |
| -1 | 555,200,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 137 | 685 | 1,781 | 8,905 | 62,347 | 311,735 | 810,511 | 4,052,555 | 8,541,539 | 42,707,695 | 111,040,007 | 555,200,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -137 | -685 | -1,781 | -8,905 | -62,347 | -311,735 | -810,511 | -4,052,555 | -8,541,539 | -42,707,695 | -111,040,007 | -555,200,035 |
