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 5,202,875, 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 | 5,202,875 | |
| -1 | -5,202,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,202,875.
Example:
1 x 5,202,875 = 5,202,875
and
-1 x -5,202,875 = 5,202,875
Notice both answers equal 5,202,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,202,875 and divide it by 2:
5,202,875 ÷ 2 = 2,601,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,601,437.5 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 | 5,202,875 | |
| -1 | -5,202,875 |
Now, we try dividing 5,202,875 by 3:
5,202,875 ÷ 3 = 1,734,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,734,291.6667 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 | 5,202,875 | |
| -1 | -5,202,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,202,875 ÷ 4 = 1,300,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,300,718.75 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 | 5,202,875 | |
| -1 | 5,202,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 107 | 125 | 389 | 535 | 1,945 | 2,675 | 9,725 | 13,375 | 41,623 | 48,625 | 208,115 | 1,040,575 | 5,202,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -107 | -125 | -389 | -535 | -1,945 | -2,675 | -9,725 | -13,375 | -41,623 | -48,625 | -208,115 | -1,040,575 | -5,202,875 |
