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 5,410,895, 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 | 5,410,895 | |
| -1 | -5,410,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,410,895.
Example:
1 x 5,410,895 = 5,410,895
and
-1 x -5,410,895 = 5,410,895
Notice both answers equal 5,410,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,410,895 and divide it by 2:
5,410,895 ÷ 2 = 2,705,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,705,447.5 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 | 5,410,895 | |
| -1 | -5,410,895 |
Now, we try dividing 5,410,895 by 3:
5,410,895 ÷ 3 = 1,803,631.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,803,631.6667 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 | 5,410,895 | |
| -1 | -5,410,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,410,895 ÷ 4 = 1,352,723.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,352,723.75 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 | 5,410,895 | |
| -1 | 5,410,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 4,987 | 24,935 | 34,909 | 154,597 | 174,545 | 772,985 | 1,082,179 | 5,410,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -4,987 | -24,935 | -34,909 | -154,597 | -174,545 | -772,985 | -1,082,179 | -5,410,895 |
