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 15,648,625, 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 | 15,648,625 | |
| -1 | -15,648,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,648,625.
Example:
1 x 15,648,625 = 15,648,625
and
-1 x -15,648,625 = 15,648,625
Notice both answers equal 15,648,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,648,625 and divide it by 2:
15,648,625 ÷ 2 = 7,824,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,824,312.5 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 | 15,648,625 | |
| -1 | -15,648,625 |
Now, we try dividing 15,648,625 by 3:
15,648,625 ÷ 3 = 5,216,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,216,208.3333 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 | 15,648,625 | |
| -1 | -15,648,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,648,625 ÷ 4 = 3,912,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,912,156.25 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 | 15,648,625 | |
| -1 | 15,648,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 125 | 575 | 2,875 | 5,443 | 27,215 | 125,189 | 136,075 | 625,945 | 680,375 | 3,129,725 | 15,648,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -125 | -575 | -2,875 | -5,443 | -27,215 | -125,189 | -136,075 | -625,945 | -680,375 | -3,129,725 | -15,648,625 |
