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 5,322,785, 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 | 5,322,785 | |
| -1 | -5,322,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,322,785.
Example:
1 x 5,322,785 = 5,322,785
and
-1 x -5,322,785 = 5,322,785
Notice both answers equal 5,322,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,322,785 and divide it by 2:
5,322,785 ÷ 2 = 2,661,392.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,661,392.5 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 | 5,322,785 | |
| -1 | -5,322,785 |
Now, we try dividing 5,322,785 by 3:
5,322,785 ÷ 3 = 1,774,261.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,774,261.6667 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 | 5,322,785 | |
| -1 | -5,322,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,322,785 ÷ 4 = 1,330,696.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,330,696.25 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 | 5,322,785 | |
| -1 | 5,322,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 65 | 85 | 221 | 1,105 | 4,817 | 24,085 | 62,621 | 81,889 | 313,105 | 409,445 | 1,064,557 | 5,322,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -65 | -85 | -221 | -1,105 | -4,817 | -24,085 | -62,621 | -81,889 | -313,105 | -409,445 | -1,064,557 | -5,322,785 |
