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 5,156,875, 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 | 5,156,875 | |
| -1 | -5,156,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,156,875.
Example:
1 x 5,156,875 = 5,156,875
and
-1 x -5,156,875 = 5,156,875
Notice both answers equal 5,156,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,156,875 and divide it by 2:
5,156,875 ÷ 2 = 2,578,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,578,437.5 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 | 5,156,875 | |
| -1 | -5,156,875 |
Now, we try dividing 5,156,875 by 3:
5,156,875 ÷ 3 = 1,718,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,718,958.3333 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 | 5,156,875 | |
| -1 | -5,156,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,156,875 ÷ 4 = 1,289,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,289,218.75 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 | 5,156,875 | |
| -1 | 5,156,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 125 | 185 | 223 | 625 | 925 | 1,115 | 4,625 | 5,575 | 8,251 | 23,125 | 27,875 | 41,255 | 139,375 | 206,275 | 1,031,375 | 5,156,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -125 | -185 | -223 | -625 | -925 | -1,115 | -4,625 | -5,575 | -8,251 | -23,125 | -27,875 | -41,255 | -139,375 | -206,275 | -1,031,375 | -5,156,875 |
