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 5,446,331, 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 | 5,446,331 | |
| -1 | -5,446,331 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,446,331.
Example:
1 x 5,446,331 = 5,446,331
and
-1 x -5,446,331 = 5,446,331
Notice both answers equal 5,446,331
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,446,331 and divide it by 2:
5,446,331 ÷ 2 = 2,723,165.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,723,165.5 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 | 5,446,331 | |
| -1 | -5,446,331 |
Now, we try dividing 5,446,331 by 3:
5,446,331 ÷ 3 = 1,815,443.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,815,443.6667 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 | 5,446,331 | |
| -1 | -5,446,331 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,446,331 ÷ 4 = 1,361,582.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,361,582.75 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 | 5,446,331 | |
| -1 | 5,446,331 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 23 | 103 | 121 | 209 | 253 | 437 | 1,133 | 1,957 | 2,299 | 2,369 | 2,783 | 4,807 | 12,463 | 21,527 | 26,059 | 45,011 | 52,877 | 236,797 | 286,649 | 495,121 | 5,446,331 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -23 | -103 | -121 | -209 | -253 | -437 | -1,133 | -1,957 | -2,299 | -2,369 | -2,783 | -4,807 | -12,463 | -21,527 | -26,059 | -45,011 | -52,877 | -236,797 | -286,649 | -495,121 | -5,446,331 |
