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 5,528,375, 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 | 5,528,375 | |
| -1 | -5,528,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,528,375.
Example:
1 x 5,528,375 = 5,528,375
and
-1 x -5,528,375 = 5,528,375
Notice both answers equal 5,528,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,528,375 and divide it by 2:
5,528,375 ÷ 2 = 2,764,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,764,187.5 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 | 5,528,375 | |
| -1 | -5,528,375 |
Now, we try dividing 5,528,375 by 3:
5,528,375 ÷ 3 = 1,842,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,842,791.6667 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 | 5,528,375 | |
| -1 | -5,528,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,528,375 ÷ 4 = 1,382,093.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,382,093.75 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 | 5,528,375 | |
| -1 | 5,528,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 47 | 125 | 235 | 941 | 1,175 | 4,705 | 5,875 | 23,525 | 44,227 | 117,625 | 221,135 | 1,105,675 | 5,528,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -47 | -125 | -235 | -941 | -1,175 | -4,705 | -5,875 | -23,525 | -44,227 | -117,625 | -221,135 | -1,105,675 | -5,528,375 |
