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 5,504,005, 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 | 5,504,005 | |
| -1 | -5,504,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,504,005.
Example:
1 x 5,504,005 = 5,504,005
and
-1 x -5,504,005 = 5,504,005
Notice both answers equal 5,504,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,504,005 and divide it by 2:
5,504,005 ÷ 2 = 2,752,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,752,002.5 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 | 5,504,005 | |
| -1 | -5,504,005 |
Now, we try dividing 5,504,005 by 3:
5,504,005 ÷ 3 = 1,834,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,834,668.3333 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 | 5,504,005 | |
| -1 | -5,504,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,504,005 ÷ 4 = 1,376,001.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,376,001.25 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 | 5,504,005 | |
| -1 | 5,504,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 65 | 85 | 221 | 289 | 293 | 1,105 | 1,445 | 1,465 | 3,757 | 3,809 | 4,981 | 18,785 | 19,045 | 24,905 | 64,753 | 84,677 | 323,765 | 423,385 | 1,100,801 | 5,504,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -65 | -85 | -221 | -289 | -293 | -1,105 | -1,445 | -1,465 | -3,757 | -3,809 | -4,981 | -18,785 | -19,045 | -24,905 | -64,753 | -84,677 | -323,765 | -423,385 | -1,100,801 | -5,504,005 |
