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 5,467,285, 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 | 5,467,285 | |
| -1 | -5,467,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,467,285.
Example:
1 x 5,467,285 = 5,467,285
and
-1 x -5,467,285 = 5,467,285
Notice both answers equal 5,467,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,467,285 and divide it by 2:
5,467,285 ÷ 2 = 2,733,642.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,733,642.5 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 | 5,467,285 | |
| -1 | -5,467,285 |
Now, we try dividing 5,467,285 by 3:
5,467,285 ÷ 3 = 1,822,428.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,822,428.3333 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 | 5,467,285 | |
| -1 | -5,467,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,467,285 ÷ 4 = 1,366,821.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,366,821.25 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 | 5,467,285 | |
| -1 | 5,467,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 131 | 491 | 655 | 2,227 | 2,455 | 8,347 | 11,135 | 41,735 | 64,321 | 321,605 | 1,093,457 | 5,467,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -131 | -491 | -655 | -2,227 | -2,455 | -8,347 | -11,135 | -41,735 | -64,321 | -321,605 | -1,093,457 | -5,467,285 |
