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 5,418,959, 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 | 5,418,959 | |
| -1 | -5,418,959 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,418,959.
Example:
1 x 5,418,959 = 5,418,959
and
-1 x -5,418,959 = 5,418,959
Notice both answers equal 5,418,959
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,418,959 and divide it by 2:
5,418,959 ÷ 2 = 2,709,479.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,709,479.5 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 | 5,418,959 | |
| -1 | -5,418,959 |
Now, we try dividing 5,418,959 by 3:
5,418,959 ÷ 3 = 1,806,319.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,806,319.6667 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 | 5,418,959 | |
| -1 | -5,418,959 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,418,959 ÷ 4 = 1,354,739.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,354,739.75 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 | 5,418,959 | |
| -1 | 5,418,959 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 47 | 49 | 91 | 181 | 329 | 611 | 637 | 1,267 | 2,303 | 2,353 | 4,277 | 8,507 | 8,869 | 16,471 | 29,939 | 59,549 | 110,591 | 115,297 | 416,843 | 774,137 | 5,418,959 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -47 | -49 | -91 | -181 | -329 | -611 | -637 | -1,267 | -2,303 | -2,353 | -4,277 | -8,507 | -8,869 | -16,471 | -29,939 | -59,549 | -110,591 | -115,297 | -416,843 | -774,137 | -5,418,959 |
