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 5,425,013, 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 | 5,425,013 | |
| -1 | -5,425,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,425,013.
Example:
1 x 5,425,013 = 5,425,013
and
-1 x -5,425,013 = 5,425,013
Notice both answers equal 5,425,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,425,013 and divide it by 2:
5,425,013 ÷ 2 = 2,712,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,712,506.5 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 | 5,425,013 | |
| -1 | -5,425,013 |
Now, we try dividing 5,425,013 by 3:
5,425,013 ÷ 3 = 1,808,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,808,337.6667 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 | 5,425,013 | |
| -1 | -5,425,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,425,013 ÷ 4 = 1,356,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,356,253.25 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 | 5,425,013 | |
| -1 | 5,425,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 101 | 209 | 257 | 1,111 | 1,919 | 2,827 | 4,883 | 21,109 | 25,957 | 53,713 | 285,527 | 493,183 | 5,425,013 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -101 | -209 | -257 | -1,111 | -1,919 | -2,827 | -4,883 | -21,109 | -25,957 | -53,713 | -285,527 | -493,183 | -5,425,013 |
