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 5,444,875, 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 | 5,444,875 | |
| -1 | -5,444,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,444,875.
Example:
1 x 5,444,875 = 5,444,875
and
-1 x -5,444,875 = 5,444,875
Notice both answers equal 5,444,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,444,875 and divide it by 2:
5,444,875 ÷ 2 = 2,722,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,722,437.5 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 | 5,444,875 | |
| -1 | -5,444,875 |
Now, we try dividing 5,444,875 by 3:
5,444,875 ÷ 3 = 1,814,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,814,958.3333 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 | 5,444,875 | |
| -1 | -5,444,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,444,875 ÷ 4 = 1,361,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,361,218.75 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 | 5,444,875 | |
| -1 | 5,444,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 125 | 215 | 1,013 | 1,075 | 5,065 | 5,375 | 25,325 | 43,559 | 126,625 | 217,795 | 1,088,975 | 5,444,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -125 | -215 | -1,013 | -1,075 | -5,065 | -5,375 | -25,325 | -43,559 | -126,625 | -217,795 | -1,088,975 | -5,444,875 |
