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 5,043,625, 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 | 5,043,625 | |
| -1 | -5,043,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,043,625.
Example:
1 x 5,043,625 = 5,043,625
and
-1 x -5,043,625 = 5,043,625
Notice both answers equal 5,043,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,043,625 and divide it by 2:
5,043,625 ÷ 2 = 2,521,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,521,812.5 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 | 5,043,625 | |
| -1 | -5,043,625 |
Now, we try dividing 5,043,625 by 3:
5,043,625 ÷ 3 = 1,681,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,681,208.3333 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 | 5,043,625 | |
| -1 | -5,043,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,043,625 ÷ 4 = 1,260,906.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,260,906.25 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 | 5,043,625 | |
| -1 | 5,043,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 157 | 257 | 785 | 1,285 | 3,925 | 6,425 | 19,625 | 32,125 | 40,349 | 201,745 | 1,008,725 | 5,043,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -157 | -257 | -785 | -1,285 | -3,925 | -6,425 | -19,625 | -32,125 | -40,349 | -201,745 | -1,008,725 | -5,043,625 |
