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 5,424,125, 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 | 5,424,125 | |
| -1 | -5,424,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,424,125.
Example:
1 x 5,424,125 = 5,424,125
and
-1 x -5,424,125 = 5,424,125
Notice both answers equal 5,424,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,424,125 and divide it by 2:
5,424,125 ÷ 2 = 2,712,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,712,062.5 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 | 5,424,125 | |
| -1 | -5,424,125 |
Now, we try dividing 5,424,125 by 3:
5,424,125 ÷ 3 = 1,808,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,808,041.6667 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 | 5,424,125 | |
| -1 | -5,424,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,424,125 ÷ 4 = 1,356,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,356,031.25 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 | 5,424,125 | |
| -1 | 5,424,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 875 | 6,199 | 30,995 | 43,393 | 154,975 | 216,965 | 774,875 | 1,084,825 | 5,424,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -875 | -6,199 | -30,995 | -43,393 | -154,975 | -216,965 | -774,875 | -1,084,825 | -5,424,125 |
