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 5,438,807, 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 | 5,438,807 | |
| -1 | -5,438,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,438,807.
Example:
1 x 5,438,807 = 5,438,807
and
-1 x -5,438,807 = 5,438,807
Notice both answers equal 5,438,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,438,807 and divide it by 2:
5,438,807 ÷ 2 = 2,719,403.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,719,403.5 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 | 5,438,807 | |
| -1 | -5,438,807 |
Now, we try dividing 5,438,807 by 3:
5,438,807 ÷ 3 = 1,812,935.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,812,935.6667 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 | 5,438,807 | |
| -1 | -5,438,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,438,807 ÷ 4 = 1,359,701.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,359,701.75 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 | 5,438,807 | |
| -1 | 5,438,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 53 | 209 | 491 | 583 | 1,007 | 5,401 | 9,329 | 11,077 | 26,023 | 102,619 | 286,253 | 494,437 | 5,438,807 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -53 | -209 | -491 | -583 | -1,007 | -5,401 | -9,329 | -11,077 | -26,023 | -102,619 | -286,253 | -494,437 | -5,438,807 |
