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 1,225,625, 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 | 1,225,625 | |
| -1 | -1,225,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,225,625.
Example:
1 x 1,225,625 = 1,225,625
and
-1 x -1,225,625 = 1,225,625
Notice both answers equal 1,225,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,225,625 and divide it by 2:
1,225,625 ÷ 2 = 612,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 612,812.5 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 | 1,225,625 | |
| -1 | -1,225,625 |
Now, we try dividing 1,225,625 by 3:
1,225,625 ÷ 3 = 408,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 408,541.6667 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 | 1,225,625 | |
| -1 | -1,225,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,225,625 ÷ 4 = 306,406.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 306,406.25 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 | 1,225,625 | |
| -1 | 1,225,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 53 | 125 | 185 | 265 | 625 | 925 | 1,325 | 1,961 | 4,625 | 6,625 | 9,805 | 23,125 | 33,125 | 49,025 | 245,125 | 1,225,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -53 | -125 | -185 | -265 | -625 | -925 | -1,325 | -1,961 | -4,625 | -6,625 | -9,805 | -23,125 | -33,125 | -49,025 | -245,125 | -1,225,625 |
