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 5,361,545, 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 | 5,361,545 | |
| -1 | -5,361,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,361,545.
Example:
1 x 5,361,545 = 5,361,545
and
-1 x -5,361,545 = 5,361,545
Notice both answers equal 5,361,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,361,545 and divide it by 2:
5,361,545 ÷ 2 = 2,680,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,680,772.5 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 | 5,361,545 | |
| -1 | -5,361,545 |
Now, we try dividing 5,361,545 by 3:
5,361,545 ÷ 3 = 1,787,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,787,181.6667 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 | 5,361,545 | |
| -1 | -5,361,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,361,545 ÷ 4 = 1,340,386.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,340,386.25 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 | 5,361,545 | |
| -1 | 5,361,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 9,011 | 45,055 | 63,077 | 153,187 | 315,385 | 765,935 | 1,072,309 | 5,361,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -9,011 | -45,055 | -63,077 | -153,187 | -315,385 | -765,935 | -1,072,309 | -5,361,545 |
