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 5,396,435, 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 | 5,396,435 | |
| -1 | -5,396,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,396,435.
Example:
1 x 5,396,435 = 5,396,435
and
-1 x -5,396,435 = 5,396,435
Notice both answers equal 5,396,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,396,435 and divide it by 2:
5,396,435 ÷ 2 = 2,698,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,698,217.5 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 | 5,396,435 | |
| -1 | -5,396,435 |
Now, we try dividing 5,396,435 by 3:
5,396,435 ÷ 3 = 1,798,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,798,811.6667 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 | 5,396,435 | |
| -1 | -5,396,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,396,435 ÷ 4 = 1,349,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,349,108.75 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 | 5,396,435 | |
| -1 | 5,396,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 59 | 295 | 649 | 1,663 | 3,245 | 8,315 | 18,293 | 91,465 | 98,117 | 490,585 | 1,079,287 | 5,396,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -59 | -295 | -649 | -1,663 | -3,245 | -8,315 | -18,293 | -91,465 | -98,117 | -490,585 | -1,079,287 | -5,396,435 |
