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 5,403,425, 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 | 5,403,425 | |
| -1 | -5,403,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,403,425.
Example:
1 x 5,403,425 = 5,403,425
and
-1 x -5,403,425 = 5,403,425
Notice both answers equal 5,403,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,403,425 and divide it by 2:
5,403,425 ÷ 2 = 2,701,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,701,712.5 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 | 5,403,425 | |
| -1 | -5,403,425 |
Now, we try dividing 5,403,425 by 3:
5,403,425 ÷ 3 = 1,801,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,801,141.6667 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 | 5,403,425 | |
| -1 | -5,403,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,403,425 ÷ 4 = 1,350,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,350,856.25 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 | 5,403,425 | |
| -1 | 5,403,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 145 | 257 | 725 | 841 | 1,285 | 4,205 | 6,425 | 7,453 | 21,025 | 37,265 | 186,325 | 216,137 | 1,080,685 | 5,403,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -145 | -257 | -725 | -841 | -1,285 | -4,205 | -6,425 | -7,453 | -21,025 | -37,265 | -186,325 | -216,137 | -1,080,685 | -5,403,425 |
