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 5,306,587, 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 | 5,306,587 | |
| -1 | -5,306,587 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,306,587.
Example:
1 x 5,306,587 = 5,306,587
and
-1 x -5,306,587 = 5,306,587
Notice both answers equal 5,306,587
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,306,587 and divide it by 2:
5,306,587 ÷ 2 = 2,653,293.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,653,293.5 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 | 5,306,587 | |
| -1 | -5,306,587 |
Now, we try dividing 5,306,587 by 3:
5,306,587 ÷ 3 = 1,768,862.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,768,862.3333 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 | 5,306,587 | |
| -1 | -5,306,587 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,306,587 ÷ 4 = 1,326,646.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,326,646.75 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 | 5,306,587 | |
| -1 | 5,306,587 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 43 | 143 | 473 | 559 | 863 | 6,149 | 9,493 | 11,219 | 37,109 | 123,409 | 408,199 | 482,417 | 5,306,587 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -43 | -143 | -473 | -559 | -863 | -6,149 | -9,493 | -11,219 | -37,109 | -123,409 | -408,199 | -482,417 | -5,306,587 |
