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 5,448,287, 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 | 5,448,287 | |
| -1 | -5,448,287 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,448,287.
Example:
1 x 5,448,287 = 5,448,287
and
-1 x -5,448,287 = 5,448,287
Notice both answers equal 5,448,287
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,448,287 and divide it by 2:
5,448,287 ÷ 2 = 2,724,143.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,724,143.5 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 | 5,448,287 | |
| -1 | -5,448,287 |
Now, we try dividing 5,448,287 by 3:
5,448,287 ÷ 3 = 1,816,095.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,816,095.6667 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 | 5,448,287 | |
| -1 | -5,448,287 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,448,287 ÷ 4 = 1,362,071.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,362,071.75 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 | 5,448,287 | |
| -1 | 5,448,287 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 47 | 241 | 481 | 611 | 1,739 | 3,133 | 8,917 | 11,327 | 22,607 | 115,921 | 147,251 | 419,099 | 5,448,287 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -47 | -241 | -481 | -611 | -1,739 | -3,133 | -8,917 | -11,327 | -22,607 | -115,921 | -147,251 | -419,099 | -5,448,287 |
