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 55,820,335, 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 | 55,820,335 | |
| -1 | -55,820,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,820,335.
Example:
1 x 55,820,335 = 55,820,335
and
-1 x -55,820,335 = 55,820,335
Notice both answers equal 55,820,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,820,335 and divide it by 2:
55,820,335 ÷ 2 = 27,910,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,910,167.5 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 | 55,820,335 | |
| -1 | -55,820,335 |
Now, we try dividing 55,820,335 by 3:
55,820,335 ÷ 3 = 18,606,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,606,778.3333 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 | 55,820,335 | |
| -1 | -55,820,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,820,335 ÷ 4 = 13,955,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,955,083.75 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 | 55,820,335 | |
| -1 | 55,820,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 283 | 383 | 515 | 1,415 | 1,915 | 29,149 | 39,449 | 108,389 | 145,745 | 197,245 | 541,945 | 11,164,067 | 55,820,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -283 | -383 | -515 | -1,415 | -1,915 | -29,149 | -39,449 | -108,389 | -145,745 | -197,245 | -541,945 | -11,164,067 | -55,820,335 |
