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 5,401,625, 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 | 5,401,625 | |
| -1 | -5,401,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,401,625.
Example:
1 x 5,401,625 = 5,401,625
and
-1 x -5,401,625 = 5,401,625
Notice both answers equal 5,401,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,401,625 and divide it by 2:
5,401,625 ÷ 2 = 2,700,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,700,812.5 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 | 5,401,625 | |
| -1 | -5,401,625 |
Now, we try dividing 5,401,625 by 3:
5,401,625 ÷ 3 = 1,800,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,800,541.6667 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 | 5,401,625 | |
| -1 | -5,401,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,401,625 ÷ 4 = 1,350,406.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,350,406.25 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 | 5,401,625 | |
| -1 | 5,401,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 79 | 125 | 395 | 547 | 1,975 | 2,735 | 9,875 | 13,675 | 43,213 | 68,375 | 216,065 | 1,080,325 | 5,401,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -79 | -125 | -395 | -547 | -1,975 | -2,735 | -9,875 | -13,675 | -43,213 | -68,375 | -216,065 | -1,080,325 | -5,401,625 |
