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 5,925,145, 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 | 5,925,145 | |
| -1 | -5,925,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,925,145.
Example:
1 x 5,925,145 = 5,925,145
and
-1 x -5,925,145 = 5,925,145
Notice both answers equal 5,925,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,925,145 and divide it by 2:
5,925,145 ÷ 2 = 2,962,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,962,572.5 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 | 5,925,145 | |
| -1 | -5,925,145 |
Now, we try dividing 5,925,145 by 3:
5,925,145 ÷ 3 = 1,975,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,975,048.3333 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 | 5,925,145 | |
| -1 | -5,925,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,925,145 ÷ 4 = 1,481,286.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,481,286.25 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 | 5,925,145 | |
| -1 | 5,925,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 67 | 115 | 335 | 769 | 1,541 | 3,845 | 7,705 | 17,687 | 51,523 | 88,435 | 257,615 | 1,185,029 | 5,925,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -67 | -115 | -335 | -769 | -1,541 | -3,845 | -7,705 | -17,687 | -51,523 | -88,435 | -257,615 | -1,185,029 | -5,925,145 |
