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 5,335,565, 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 | 5,335,565 | |
| -1 | -5,335,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,335,565.
Example:
1 x 5,335,565 = 5,335,565
and
-1 x -5,335,565 = 5,335,565
Notice both answers equal 5,335,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,335,565 and divide it by 2:
5,335,565 ÷ 2 = 2,667,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,667,782.5 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 | 5,335,565 | |
| -1 | -5,335,565 |
Now, we try dividing 5,335,565 by 3:
5,335,565 ÷ 3 = 1,778,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,778,521.6667 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 | 5,335,565 | |
| -1 | -5,335,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,335,565 ÷ 4 = 1,333,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,333,891.25 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 | 5,335,565 | |
| -1 | 5,335,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 31 | 145 | 155 | 899 | 1,187 | 4,495 | 5,935 | 34,423 | 36,797 | 172,115 | 183,985 | 1,067,113 | 5,335,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -31 | -145 | -155 | -899 | -1,187 | -4,495 | -5,935 | -34,423 | -36,797 | -172,115 | -183,985 | -1,067,113 | -5,335,565 |
