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 5,410,687, 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 | 5,410,687 | |
| -1 | -5,410,687 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,410,687.
Example:
1 x 5,410,687 = 5,410,687
and
-1 x -5,410,687 = 5,410,687
Notice both answers equal 5,410,687
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,410,687 and divide it by 2:
5,410,687 ÷ 2 = 2,705,343.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,705,343.5 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 | 5,410,687 | |
| -1 | -5,410,687 |
Now, we try dividing 5,410,687 by 3:
5,410,687 ÷ 3 = 1,803,562.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,803,562.3333 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 | 5,410,687 | |
| -1 | -5,410,687 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,410,687 ÷ 4 = 1,352,671.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,352,671.75 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 | 5,410,687 | |
| -1 | 5,410,687 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 47 | 73 | 83 | 893 | 1,387 | 1,577 | 3,431 | 3,901 | 6,059 | 65,189 | 74,119 | 115,121 | 284,773 | 5,410,687 |
| -1 | -19 | -47 | -73 | -83 | -893 | -1,387 | -1,577 | -3,431 | -3,901 | -6,059 | -65,189 | -74,119 | -115,121 | -284,773 | -5,410,687 |
