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 5,017,925, 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 | 5,017,925 | |
| -1 | -5,017,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,017,925.
Example:
1 x 5,017,925 = 5,017,925
and
-1 x -5,017,925 = 5,017,925
Notice both answers equal 5,017,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,017,925 and divide it by 2:
5,017,925 ÷ 2 = 2,508,962.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,508,962.5 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 | 5,017,925 | |
| -1 | -5,017,925 |
Now, we try dividing 5,017,925 by 3:
5,017,925 ÷ 3 = 1,672,641.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,672,641.6667 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 | 5,017,925 | |
| -1 | -5,017,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,017,925 ÷ 4 = 1,254,481.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,254,481.25 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 | 5,017,925 | |
| -1 | 5,017,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 71 | 257 | 275 | 355 | 781 | 1,285 | 1,775 | 2,827 | 3,905 | 6,425 | 14,135 | 18,247 | 19,525 | 70,675 | 91,235 | 200,717 | 456,175 | 1,003,585 | 5,017,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -71 | -257 | -275 | -355 | -781 | -1,285 | -1,775 | -2,827 | -3,905 | -6,425 | -14,135 | -18,247 | -19,525 | -70,675 | -91,235 | -200,717 | -456,175 | -1,003,585 | -5,017,925 |
