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 55,835,351, 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 | 55,835,351 | |
| -1 | -55,835,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,835,351.
Example:
1 x 55,835,351 = 55,835,351
and
-1 x -55,835,351 = 55,835,351
Notice both answers equal 55,835,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,835,351 and divide it by 2:
55,835,351 ÷ 2 = 27,917,675.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,917,675.5 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 | 55,835,351 | |
| -1 | -55,835,351 |
Now, we try dividing 55,835,351 by 3:
55,835,351 ÷ 3 = 18,611,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,611,783.6667 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 | 55,835,351 | |
| -1 | -55,835,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,835,351 ÷ 4 = 13,958,837.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,958,837.75 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 | 55,835,351 | |
| -1 | 55,835,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 557 | 701 | 6,127 | 7,241 | 7,711 | 9,113 | 79,651 | 100,243 | 390,457 | 4,295,027 | 5,075,941 | 55,835,351 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -557 | -701 | -6,127 | -7,241 | -7,711 | -9,113 | -79,651 | -100,243 | -390,457 | -4,295,027 | -5,075,941 | -55,835,351 |
