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 5,938,025, 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 | 5,938,025 | |
| -1 | -5,938,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,938,025.
Example:
1 x 5,938,025 = 5,938,025
and
-1 x -5,938,025 = 5,938,025
Notice both answers equal 5,938,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,938,025 and divide it by 2:
5,938,025 ÷ 2 = 2,969,012.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,969,012.5 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 | 5,938,025 | |
| -1 | -5,938,025 |
Now, we try dividing 5,938,025 by 3:
5,938,025 ÷ 3 = 1,979,341.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,979,341.6667 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 | 5,938,025 | |
| -1 | -5,938,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,938,025 ÷ 4 = 1,484,506.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,484,506.25 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 | 5,938,025 | |
| -1 | 5,938,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 449 | 529 | 575 | 2,245 | 2,645 | 10,327 | 11,225 | 13,225 | 51,635 | 237,521 | 258,175 | 1,187,605 | 5,938,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -449 | -529 | -575 | -2,245 | -2,645 | -10,327 | -11,225 | -13,225 | -51,635 | -237,521 | -258,175 | -1,187,605 | -5,938,025 |
