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 5,562,085, 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 | 5,562,085 | |
| -1 | -5,562,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,562,085.
Example:
1 x 5,562,085 = 5,562,085
and
-1 x -5,562,085 = 5,562,085
Notice both answers equal 5,562,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,562,085 and divide it by 2:
5,562,085 ÷ 2 = 2,781,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,781,042.5 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 | 5,562,085 | |
| -1 | -5,562,085 |
Now, we try dividing 5,562,085 by 3:
5,562,085 ÷ 3 = 1,854,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,854,028.3333 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 | 5,562,085 | |
| -1 | -5,562,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,562,085 ÷ 4 = 1,390,521.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,390,521.25 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 | 5,562,085 | |
| -1 | 5,562,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 139 | 151 | 265 | 695 | 755 | 7,367 | 8,003 | 20,989 | 36,835 | 40,015 | 104,945 | 1,112,417 | 5,562,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -139 | -151 | -265 | -695 | -755 | -7,367 | -8,003 | -20,989 | -36,835 | -40,015 | -104,945 | -1,112,417 | -5,562,085 |
