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 5,527,235, 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 | 5,527,235 | |
| -1 | -5,527,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,527,235.
Example:
1 x 5,527,235 = 5,527,235
and
-1 x -5,527,235 = 5,527,235
Notice both answers equal 5,527,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,527,235 and divide it by 2:
5,527,235 ÷ 2 = 2,763,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,763,617.5 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 | 5,527,235 | |
| -1 | -5,527,235 |
Now, we try dividing 5,527,235 by 3:
5,527,235 ÷ 3 = 1,842,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,842,411.6667 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 | 5,527,235 | |
| -1 | -5,527,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,527,235 ÷ 4 = 1,381,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,381,808.75 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 | 5,527,235 | |
| -1 | 5,527,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 79 | 395 | 553 | 1,999 | 2,765 | 9,995 | 13,993 | 69,965 | 157,921 | 789,605 | 1,105,447 | 5,527,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -79 | -395 | -553 | -1,999 | -2,765 | -9,995 | -13,993 | -69,965 | -157,921 | -789,605 | -1,105,447 | -5,527,235 |
