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 5,374,805, 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 | 5,374,805 | |
| -1 | -5,374,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,374,805.
Example:
1 x 5,374,805 = 5,374,805
and
-1 x -5,374,805 = 5,374,805
Notice both answers equal 5,374,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,374,805 and divide it by 2:
5,374,805 ÷ 2 = 2,687,402.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,687,402.5 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 | 5,374,805 | |
| -1 | -5,374,805 |
Now, we try dividing 5,374,805 by 3:
5,374,805 ÷ 3 = 1,791,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,791,601.6667 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 | 5,374,805 | |
| -1 | -5,374,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,374,805 ÷ 4 = 1,343,701.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,343,701.25 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 | 5,374,805 | |
| -1 | 5,374,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 629 | 1,709 | 3,145 | 8,545 | 29,053 | 63,233 | 145,265 | 316,165 | 1,074,961 | 5,374,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -629 | -1,709 | -3,145 | -8,545 | -29,053 | -63,233 | -145,265 | -316,165 | -1,074,961 | -5,374,805 |
