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 5,364,023, 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 | 5,364,023 | |
| -1 | -5,364,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,364,023.
Example:
1 x 5,364,023 = 5,364,023
and
-1 x -5,364,023 = 5,364,023
Notice both answers equal 5,364,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,364,023 and divide it by 2:
5,364,023 ÷ 2 = 2,682,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,682,011.5 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 | 5,364,023 | |
| -1 | -5,364,023 |
Now, we try dividing 5,364,023 by 3:
5,364,023 ÷ 3 = 1,788,007.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,788,007.6667 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 | 5,364,023 | |
| -1 | -5,364,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,364,023 ÷ 4 = 1,341,005.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,341,005.75 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 | 5,364,023 | |
| -1 | 5,364,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 31 | 133 | 217 | 589 | 1,301 | 4,123 | 9,107 | 24,719 | 40,331 | 173,033 | 282,317 | 766,289 | 5,364,023 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -31 | -133 | -217 | -589 | -1,301 | -4,123 | -9,107 | -24,719 | -40,331 | -173,033 | -282,317 | -766,289 | -5,364,023 |
