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 5,402,635, 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 | 5,402,635 | |
| -1 | -5,402,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,402,635.
Example:
1 x 5,402,635 = 5,402,635
and
-1 x -5,402,635 = 5,402,635
Notice both answers equal 5,402,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,402,635 and divide it by 2:
5,402,635 ÷ 2 = 2,701,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,701,317.5 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 | 5,402,635 | |
| -1 | -5,402,635 |
Now, we try dividing 5,402,635 by 3:
5,402,635 ÷ 3 = 1,800,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,800,878.3333 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 | 5,402,635 | |
| -1 | -5,402,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,402,635 ÷ 4 = 1,350,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,350,658.75 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 | 5,402,635 | |
| -1 | 5,402,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 163 | 815 | 947 | 1,141 | 4,735 | 5,705 | 6,629 | 33,145 | 154,361 | 771,805 | 1,080,527 | 5,402,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -163 | -815 | -947 | -1,141 | -4,735 | -5,705 | -6,629 | -33,145 | -154,361 | -771,805 | -1,080,527 | -5,402,635 |
