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 28,825,825, 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 | 28,825,825 | |
| -1 | -28,825,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 28,825,825.
Example:
1 x 28,825,825 = 28,825,825
and
-1 x -28,825,825 = 28,825,825
Notice both answers equal 28,825,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 28,825,825 and divide it by 2:
28,825,825 ÷ 2 = 14,412,912.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,412,912.5 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 | 28,825,825 | |
| -1 | -28,825,825 |
Now, we try dividing 28,825,825 by 3:
28,825,825 ÷ 3 = 9,608,608.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,608,608.3333 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 | 28,825,825 | |
| -1 | -28,825,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
28,825,825 ÷ 4 = 7,206,456.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,206,456.25 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 | 28,825,825 | |
| -1 | 28,825,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 127 | 175 | 635 | 889 | 1,297 | 3,175 | 4,445 | 6,485 | 9,079 | 22,225 | 32,425 | 45,395 | 164,719 | 226,975 | 823,595 | 1,153,033 | 4,117,975 | 5,765,165 | 28,825,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -127 | -175 | -635 | -889 | -1,297 | -3,175 | -4,445 | -6,485 | -9,079 | -22,225 | -32,425 | -45,395 | -164,719 | -226,975 | -823,595 | -1,153,033 | -4,117,975 | -5,765,165 | -28,825,825 |
