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 5,527,795, 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 | 5,527,795 | |
| -1 | -5,527,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,527,795.
Example:
1 x 5,527,795 = 5,527,795
and
-1 x -5,527,795 = 5,527,795
Notice both answers equal 5,527,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,527,795 and divide it by 2:
5,527,795 ÷ 2 = 2,763,897.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,763,897.5 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 | 5,527,795 | |
| -1 | -5,527,795 |
Now, we try dividing 5,527,795 by 3:
5,527,795 ÷ 3 = 1,842,598.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,842,598.3333 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 | 5,527,795 | |
| -1 | -5,527,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,527,795 ÷ 4 = 1,381,948.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,381,948.75 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 | 5,527,795 | |
| -1 | 5,527,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 12,149 | 60,745 | 85,043 | 157,937 | 425,215 | 789,685 | 1,105,559 | 5,527,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -12,149 | -60,745 | -85,043 | -157,937 | -425,215 | -789,685 | -1,105,559 | -5,527,795 |
