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 5,003,525, 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 | 5,003,525 | |
| -1 | -5,003,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,003,525.
Example:
1 x 5,003,525 = 5,003,525
and
-1 x -5,003,525 = 5,003,525
Notice both answers equal 5,003,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,003,525 and divide it by 2:
5,003,525 ÷ 2 = 2,501,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,501,762.5 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 | 5,003,525 | |
| -1 | -5,003,525 |
Now, we try dividing 5,003,525 by 3:
5,003,525 ÷ 3 = 1,667,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,667,841.6667 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 | 5,003,525 | |
| -1 | -5,003,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,003,525 ÷ 4 = 1,250,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,250,881.25 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 | 5,003,525 | |
| -1 | 5,003,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 61 | 85 | 193 | 305 | 425 | 965 | 1,037 | 1,525 | 3,281 | 4,825 | 5,185 | 11,773 | 16,405 | 25,925 | 58,865 | 82,025 | 200,141 | 294,325 | 1,000,705 | 5,003,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -61 | -85 | -193 | -305 | -425 | -965 | -1,037 | -1,525 | -3,281 | -4,825 | -5,185 | -11,773 | -16,405 | -25,925 | -58,865 | -82,025 | -200,141 | -294,325 | -1,000,705 | -5,003,525 |
