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 5,200,555, 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 | 5,200,555 | |
| -1 | -5,200,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,200,555.
Example:
1 x 5,200,555 = 5,200,555
and
-1 x -5,200,555 = 5,200,555
Notice both answers equal 5,200,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,200,555 and divide it by 2:
5,200,555 ÷ 2 = 2,600,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,600,277.5 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 | 5,200,555 | |
| -1 | -5,200,555 |
Now, we try dividing 5,200,555 by 3:
5,200,555 ÷ 3 = 1,733,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,733,518.3333 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 | 5,200,555 | |
| -1 | -5,200,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,200,555 ÷ 4 = 1,300,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,300,138.75 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 | 5,200,555 | |
| -1 | 5,200,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 59 | 61 | 85 | 289 | 295 | 305 | 1,003 | 1,037 | 1,445 | 3,599 | 5,015 | 5,185 | 17,051 | 17,629 | 17,995 | 61,183 | 85,255 | 88,145 | 305,915 | 1,040,111 | 5,200,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -59 | -61 | -85 | -289 | -295 | -305 | -1,003 | -1,037 | -1,445 | -3,599 | -5,015 | -5,185 | -17,051 | -17,629 | -17,995 | -61,183 | -85,255 | -88,145 | -305,915 | -1,040,111 | -5,200,555 |
