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 5,224,525, 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 | 5,224,525 | |
| -1 | -5,224,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,224,525.
Example:
1 x 5,224,525 = 5,224,525
and
-1 x -5,224,525 = 5,224,525
Notice both answers equal 5,224,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,224,525 and divide it by 2:
5,224,525 ÷ 2 = 2,612,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,612,262.5 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 | 5,224,525 | |
| -1 | -5,224,525 |
Now, we try dividing 5,224,525 by 3:
5,224,525 ÷ 3 = 1,741,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,741,508.3333 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 | 5,224,525 | |
| -1 | -5,224,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,224,525 ÷ 4 = 1,306,131.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,306,131.25 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 | 5,224,525 | |
| -1 | 5,224,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 25 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 425 | 475 | 647 | 1,615 | 3,235 | 8,075 | 10,999 | 12,293 | 16,175 | 54,995 | 61,465 | 208,981 | 274,975 | 307,325 | 1,044,905 | 5,224,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -25 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -425 | -475 | -647 | -1,615 | -3,235 | -8,075 | -10,999 | -12,293 | -16,175 | -54,995 | -61,465 | -208,981 | -274,975 | -307,325 | -1,044,905 | -5,224,525 |
