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 5,343,715, 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 | 5,343,715 | |
| -1 | -5,343,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,343,715.
Example:
1 x 5,343,715 = 5,343,715
and
-1 x -5,343,715 = 5,343,715
Notice both answers equal 5,343,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,343,715 and divide it by 2:
5,343,715 ÷ 2 = 2,671,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,671,857.5 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 | 5,343,715 | |
| -1 | -5,343,715 |
Now, we try dividing 5,343,715 by 3:
5,343,715 ÷ 3 = 1,781,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,781,238.3333 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 | 5,343,715 | |
| -1 | -5,343,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,343,715 ÷ 4 = 1,335,928.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,335,928.75 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 | 5,343,715 | |
| -1 | 5,343,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 229 | 359 | 1,145 | 1,795 | 2,977 | 4,667 | 14,885 | 23,335 | 82,211 | 411,055 | 1,068,743 | 5,343,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -229 | -359 | -1,145 | -1,795 | -2,977 | -4,667 | -14,885 | -23,335 | -82,211 | -411,055 | -1,068,743 | -5,343,715 |
