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 55,920,425, 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 | 55,920,425 | |
| -1 | -55,920,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 55,920,425.
Example:
1 x 55,920,425 = 55,920,425
and
-1 x -55,920,425 = 55,920,425
Notice both answers equal 55,920,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 55,920,425 and divide it by 2:
55,920,425 ÷ 2 = 27,960,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 27,960,212.5 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 | 55,920,425 | |
| -1 | -55,920,425 |
Now, we try dividing 55,920,425 by 3:
55,920,425 ÷ 3 = 18,640,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,640,141.6667 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 | 55,920,425 | |
| -1 | -55,920,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
55,920,425 ÷ 4 = 13,980,106.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 13,980,106.25 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 | 55,920,425 | |
| -1 | 55,920,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 275 | 473 | 1,075 | 2,365 | 4,729 | 11,825 | 23,645 | 52,019 | 118,225 | 203,347 | 260,095 | 1,016,735 | 1,300,475 | 2,236,817 | 5,083,675 | 11,184,085 | 55,920,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -275 | -473 | -1,075 | -2,365 | -4,729 | -11,825 | -23,645 | -52,019 | -118,225 | -203,347 | -260,095 | -1,016,735 | -1,300,475 | -2,236,817 | -5,083,675 | -11,184,085 | -55,920,425 |
