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 5,450,863, 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 | 5,450,863 | |
| -1 | -5,450,863 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,450,863.
Example:
1 x 5,450,863 = 5,450,863
and
-1 x -5,450,863 = 5,450,863
Notice both answers equal 5,450,863
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,450,863 and divide it by 2:
5,450,863 ÷ 2 = 2,725,431.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,725,431.5 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 | 5,450,863 | |
| -1 | -5,450,863 |
Now, we try dividing 5,450,863 by 3:
5,450,863 ÷ 3 = 1,816,954.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,816,954.3333 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 | 5,450,863 | |
| -1 | -5,450,863 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,450,863 ÷ 4 = 1,362,715.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,362,715.75 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 | 5,450,863 | |
| -1 | 5,450,863 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 103 | 187 | 283 | 1,133 | 1,751 | 3,113 | 4,811 | 19,261 | 29,149 | 52,921 | 320,639 | 495,533 | 5,450,863 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -103 | -187 | -283 | -1,133 | -1,751 | -3,113 | -4,811 | -19,261 | -29,149 | -52,921 | -320,639 | -495,533 | -5,450,863 |
