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 55,560,605, 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 | 55,560,605 | |
| -1 | -55,560,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,560,605.
Example:
1 x 55,560,605 = 55,560,605
and
-1 x -55,560,605 = 55,560,605
Notice both answers equal 55,560,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,560,605 and divide it by 2:
55,560,605 ÷ 2 = 27,780,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,780,302.5 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 | 55,560,605 | |
| -1 | -55,560,605 |
Now, we try dividing 55,560,605 by 3:
55,560,605 ÷ 3 = 18,520,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,520,201.6667 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 | 55,560,605 | |
| -1 | -55,560,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,560,605 ÷ 4 = 13,890,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,890,151.25 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 | 55,560,605 | |
| -1 | 55,560,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 269 | 409 | 505 | 1,345 | 2,045 | 27,169 | 41,309 | 110,021 | 135,845 | 206,545 | 550,105 | 11,112,121 | 55,560,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -269 | -409 | -505 | -1,345 | -2,045 | -27,169 | -41,309 | -110,021 | -135,845 | -206,545 | -550,105 | -11,112,121 | -55,560,605 |
