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 5,725,525, 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 | 5,725,525 | |
| -1 | -5,725,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,725,525.
Example:
1 x 5,725,525 = 5,725,525
and
-1 x -5,725,525 = 5,725,525
Notice both answers equal 5,725,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,725,525 and divide it by 2:
5,725,525 ÷ 2 = 2,862,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,862,762.5 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 | 5,725,525 | |
| -1 | -5,725,525 |
Now, we try dividing 5,725,525 by 3:
5,725,525 ÷ 3 = 1,908,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,908,508.3333 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 | 5,725,525 | |
| -1 | -5,725,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,725,525 ÷ 4 = 1,431,381.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,431,381.25 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 | 5,725,525 | |
| -1 | 5,725,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 79 | 223 | 325 | 395 | 1,027 | 1,115 | 1,975 | 2,899 | 5,135 | 5,575 | 14,495 | 17,617 | 25,675 | 72,475 | 88,085 | 229,021 | 440,425 | 1,145,105 | 5,725,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -79 | -223 | -325 | -395 | -1,027 | -1,115 | -1,975 | -2,899 | -5,135 | -5,575 | -14,495 | -17,617 | -25,675 | -72,475 | -88,085 | -229,021 | -440,425 | -1,145,105 | -5,725,525 |
