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 5,351,525, 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 | 5,351,525 | |
| -1 | -5,351,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,351,525.
Example:
1 x 5,351,525 = 5,351,525
and
-1 x -5,351,525 = 5,351,525
Notice both answers equal 5,351,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,351,525 and divide it by 2:
5,351,525 ÷ 2 = 2,675,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,675,762.5 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 | 5,351,525 | |
| -1 | -5,351,525 |
Now, we try dividing 5,351,525 by 3:
5,351,525 ÷ 3 = 1,783,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,783,841.6667 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 | 5,351,525 | |
| -1 | -5,351,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,351,525 ÷ 4 = 1,337,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,337,881.25 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 | 5,351,525 | |
| -1 | 5,351,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 41 | 115 | 205 | 227 | 575 | 943 | 1,025 | 1,135 | 4,715 | 5,221 | 5,675 | 9,307 | 23,575 | 26,105 | 46,535 | 130,525 | 214,061 | 232,675 | 1,070,305 | 5,351,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -41 | -115 | -205 | -227 | -575 | -943 | -1,025 | -1,135 | -4,715 | -5,221 | -5,675 | -9,307 | -23,575 | -26,105 | -46,535 | -130,525 | -214,061 | -232,675 | -1,070,305 | -5,351,525 |
