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 5,400,967, 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 | 5,400,967 | |
| -1 | -5,400,967 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,400,967.
Example:
1 x 5,400,967 = 5,400,967
and
-1 x -5,400,967 = 5,400,967
Notice both answers equal 5,400,967
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,400,967 and divide it by 2:
5,400,967 ÷ 2 = 2,700,483.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,700,483.5 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 | 5,400,967 | |
| -1 | -5,400,967 |
Now, we try dividing 5,400,967 by 3:
5,400,967 ÷ 3 = 1,800,322.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,800,322.3333 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 | 5,400,967 | |
| -1 | -5,400,967 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,400,967 ÷ 4 = 1,350,241.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,350,241.75 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 | 5,400,967 | |
| -1 | 5,400,967 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 179 | 211 | 1,969 | 2,321 | 2,327 | 2,743 | 25,597 | 30,173 | 37,769 | 415,459 | 490,997 | 5,400,967 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -179 | -211 | -1,969 | -2,321 | -2,327 | -2,743 | -25,597 | -30,173 | -37,769 | -415,459 | -490,997 | -5,400,967 |
