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 5,498,725, 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 | 5,498,725 | |
| -1 | -5,498,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,498,725.
Example:
1 x 5,498,725 = 5,498,725
and
-1 x -5,498,725 = 5,498,725
Notice both answers equal 5,498,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,498,725 and divide it by 2:
5,498,725 ÷ 2 = 2,749,362.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,749,362.5 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 | 5,498,725 | |
| -1 | -5,498,725 |
Now, we try dividing 5,498,725 by 3:
5,498,725 ÷ 3 = 1,832,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,832,908.3333 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 | 5,498,725 | |
| -1 | -5,498,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,498,725 ÷ 4 = 1,374,681.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,374,681.25 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 | 5,498,725 | |
| -1 | 5,498,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 73 | 115 | 131 | 365 | 575 | 655 | 1,679 | 1,825 | 3,013 | 3,275 | 8,395 | 9,563 | 15,065 | 41,975 | 47,815 | 75,325 | 219,949 | 239,075 | 1,099,745 | 5,498,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -73 | -115 | -131 | -365 | -575 | -655 | -1,679 | -1,825 | -3,013 | -3,275 | -8,395 | -9,563 | -15,065 | -41,975 | -47,815 | -75,325 | -219,949 | -239,075 | -1,099,745 | -5,498,725 |
