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 5,353,795, 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 | 5,353,795 | |
| -1 | -5,353,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,353,795.
Example:
1 x 5,353,795 = 5,353,795
and
-1 x -5,353,795 = 5,353,795
Notice both answers equal 5,353,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,353,795 and divide it by 2:
5,353,795 ÷ 2 = 2,676,897.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,676,897.5 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 | 5,353,795 | |
| -1 | -5,353,795 |
Now, we try dividing 5,353,795 by 3:
5,353,795 ÷ 3 = 1,784,598.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,784,598.3333 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 | 5,353,795 | |
| -1 | -5,353,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,353,795 ÷ 4 = 1,338,448.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,338,448.75 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 | 5,353,795 | |
| -1 | 5,353,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 89 | 227 | 265 | 445 | 1,135 | 4,717 | 12,031 | 20,203 | 23,585 | 60,155 | 101,015 | 1,070,759 | 5,353,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -89 | -227 | -265 | -445 | -1,135 | -4,717 | -12,031 | -20,203 | -23,585 | -60,155 | -101,015 | -1,070,759 | -5,353,795 |
