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 55,716,119, 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 | 55,716,119 | |
| -1 | -55,716,119 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,716,119.
Example:
1 x 55,716,119 = 55,716,119
and
-1 x -55,716,119 = 55,716,119
Notice both answers equal 55,716,119
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,716,119 and divide it by 2:
55,716,119 ÷ 2 = 27,858,059.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,858,059.5 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 | 55,716,119 | |
| -1 | -55,716,119 |
Now, we try dividing 55,716,119 by 3:
55,716,119 ÷ 3 = 18,572,039.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,572,039.6667 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 | 55,716,119 | |
| -1 | -55,716,119 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,716,119 ÷ 4 = 13,929,029.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,929,029.75 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 | 55,716,119 | |
| -1 | 55,716,119 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 59 | 61 | 113 | 137 | 3,599 | 6,667 | 6,893 | 8,083 | 8,357 | 15,481 | 406,687 | 493,063 | 913,379 | 944,341 | 55,716,119 |
| -1 | -59 | -61 | -113 | -137 | -3,599 | -6,667 | -6,893 | -8,083 | -8,357 | -15,481 | -406,687 | -493,063 | -913,379 | -944,341 | -55,716,119 |
