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 5,323,615, 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 | 5,323,615 | |
| -1 | -5,323,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,323,615.
Example:
1 x 5,323,615 = 5,323,615
and
-1 x -5,323,615 = 5,323,615
Notice both answers equal 5,323,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,323,615 and divide it by 2:
5,323,615 ÷ 2 = 2,661,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,661,807.5 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 | 5,323,615 | |
| -1 | -5,323,615 |
Now, we try dividing 5,323,615 by 3:
5,323,615 ÷ 3 = 1,774,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,774,538.3333 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 | 5,323,615 | |
| -1 | -5,323,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,323,615 ÷ 4 = 1,330,903.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,330,903.75 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 | 5,323,615 | |
| -1 | 5,323,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 2,251 | 2,365 | 11,255 | 24,761 | 96,793 | 123,805 | 483,965 | 1,064,723 | 5,323,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -2,251 | -2,365 | -11,255 | -24,761 | -96,793 | -123,805 | -483,965 | -1,064,723 | -5,323,615 |
