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 5,300,125, 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 | 5,300,125 | |
| -1 | -5,300,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,300,125.
Example:
1 x 5,300,125 = 5,300,125
and
-1 x -5,300,125 = 5,300,125
Notice both answers equal 5,300,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,300,125 and divide it by 2:
5,300,125 ÷ 2 = 2,650,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,650,062.5 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 | 5,300,125 | |
| -1 | -5,300,125 |
Now, we try dividing 5,300,125 by 3:
5,300,125 ÷ 3 = 1,766,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,766,708.3333 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 | 5,300,125 | |
| -1 | -5,300,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,300,125 ÷ 4 = 1,325,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,325,031.25 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 | 5,300,125 | |
| -1 | 5,300,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 109 | 125 | 389 | 545 | 1,945 | 2,725 | 9,725 | 13,625 | 42,401 | 48,625 | 212,005 | 1,060,025 | 5,300,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -109 | -125 | -389 | -545 | -1,945 | -2,725 | -9,725 | -13,625 | -42,401 | -48,625 | -212,005 | -1,060,025 | -5,300,125 |
