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 15,556,325, 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 | 15,556,325 | |
| -1 | -15,556,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,556,325.
Example:
1 x 15,556,325 = 15,556,325
and
-1 x -15,556,325 = 15,556,325
Notice both answers equal 15,556,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,556,325 and divide it by 2:
15,556,325 ÷ 2 = 7,778,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,778,162.5 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 | 15,556,325 | |
| -1 | -15,556,325 |
Now, we try dividing 15,556,325 by 3:
15,556,325 ÷ 3 = 5,185,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,185,441.6667 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 | 15,556,325 | |
| -1 | -15,556,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,556,325 ÷ 4 = 3,889,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,889,081.25 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 | 15,556,325 | |
| -1 | 15,556,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 43 | 145 | 215 | 499 | 725 | 1,075 | 1,247 | 2,495 | 6,235 | 12,475 | 14,471 | 21,457 | 31,175 | 72,355 | 107,285 | 361,775 | 536,425 | 622,253 | 3,111,265 | 15,556,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -43 | -145 | -215 | -499 | -725 | -1,075 | -1,247 | -2,495 | -6,235 | -12,475 | -14,471 | -21,457 | -31,175 | -72,355 | -107,285 | -361,775 | -536,425 | -622,253 | -3,111,265 | -15,556,325 |
