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 5,507,825, 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 | 5,507,825 | |
| -1 | -5,507,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,507,825.
Example:
1 x 5,507,825 = 5,507,825
and
-1 x -5,507,825 = 5,507,825
Notice both answers equal 5,507,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,507,825 and divide it by 2:
5,507,825 ÷ 2 = 2,753,912.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,753,912.5 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 | 5,507,825 | |
| -1 | -5,507,825 |
Now, we try dividing 5,507,825 by 3:
5,507,825 ÷ 3 = 1,835,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,835,941.6667 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 | 5,507,825 | |
| -1 | -5,507,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,507,825 ÷ 4 = 1,376,956.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,376,956.25 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 | 5,507,825 | |
| -1 | 5,507,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 71 | 107 | 145 | 355 | 535 | 725 | 1,775 | 2,059 | 2,675 | 3,103 | 7,597 | 10,295 | 15,515 | 37,985 | 51,475 | 77,575 | 189,925 | 220,313 | 1,101,565 | 5,507,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -71 | -107 | -145 | -355 | -535 | -725 | -1,775 | -2,059 | -2,675 | -3,103 | -7,597 | -10,295 | -15,515 | -37,985 | -51,475 | -77,575 | -189,925 | -220,313 | -1,101,565 | -5,507,825 |
