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 55,625,555, 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 | 55,625,555 | |
| -1 | -55,625,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,625,555.
Example:
1 x 55,625,555 = 55,625,555
and
-1 x -55,625,555 = 55,625,555
Notice both answers equal 55,625,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,625,555 and divide it by 2:
55,625,555 ÷ 2 = 27,812,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,812,777.5 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 | 55,625,555 | |
| -1 | -55,625,555 |
Now, we try dividing 55,625,555 by 3:
55,625,555 ÷ 3 = 18,541,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,541,851.6667 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 | 55,625,555 | |
| -1 | -55,625,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,625,555 ÷ 4 = 13,906,388.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,906,388.75 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 | 55,625,555 | |
| -1 | 55,625,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 107 | 173 | 535 | 601 | 865 | 3,005 | 18,511 | 64,307 | 92,555 | 103,973 | 321,535 | 519,865 | 11,125,111 | 55,625,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -107 | -173 | -535 | -601 | -865 | -3,005 | -18,511 | -64,307 | -92,555 | -103,973 | -321,535 | -519,865 | -11,125,111 | -55,625,555 |
