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 5,055,425, 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 | 5,055,425 | |
| -1 | -5,055,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,055,425.
Example:
1 x 5,055,425 = 5,055,425
and
-1 x -5,055,425 = 5,055,425
Notice both answers equal 5,055,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,055,425 and divide it by 2:
5,055,425 ÷ 2 = 2,527,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,527,712.5 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 | 5,055,425 | |
| -1 | -5,055,425 |
Now, we try dividing 5,055,425 by 3:
5,055,425 ÷ 3 = 1,685,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,685,141.6667 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 | 5,055,425 | |
| -1 | -5,055,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,055,425 ÷ 4 = 1,263,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,263,856.25 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 | 5,055,425 | |
| -1 | 5,055,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 29 | 95 | 145 | 367 | 475 | 551 | 725 | 1,835 | 2,755 | 6,973 | 9,175 | 10,643 | 13,775 | 34,865 | 53,215 | 174,325 | 202,217 | 266,075 | 1,011,085 | 5,055,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -29 | -95 | -145 | -367 | -475 | -551 | -725 | -1,835 | -2,755 | -6,973 | -9,175 | -10,643 | -13,775 | -34,865 | -53,215 | -174,325 | -202,217 | -266,075 | -1,011,085 | -5,055,425 |
