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 5,448,289, 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 | 5,448,289 | |
| -1 | -5,448,289 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,448,289.
Example:
1 x 5,448,289 = 5,448,289
and
-1 x -5,448,289 = 5,448,289
Notice both answers equal 5,448,289
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,448,289 and divide it by 2:
5,448,289 ÷ 2 = 2,724,144.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,724,144.5 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 | 5,448,289 | |
| -1 | -5,448,289 |
Now, we try dividing 5,448,289 by 3:
5,448,289 ÷ 3 = 1,816,096.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,816,096.3333 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 | 5,448,289 | |
| -1 | -5,448,289 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,448,289 ÷ 4 = 1,362,072.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,362,072.25 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 | 5,448,289 | |
| -1 | 5,448,289 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 173 | 409 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 2,863 | 4,499 | 13,321 | 31,493 | 70,757 | 495,299 | 778,327 | 5,448,289 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -173 | -409 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -2,863 | -4,499 | -13,321 | -31,493 | -70,757 | -495,299 | -778,327 | -5,448,289 |
