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 5,470,345, 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 | 5,470,345 | |
| -1 | -5,470,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,470,345.
Example:
1 x 5,470,345 = 5,470,345
and
-1 x -5,470,345 = 5,470,345
Notice both answers equal 5,470,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,470,345 and divide it by 2:
5,470,345 ÷ 2 = 2,735,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,735,172.5 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 | 5,470,345 | |
| -1 | -5,470,345 |
Now, we try dividing 5,470,345 by 3:
5,470,345 ÷ 3 = 1,823,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,823,448.3333 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 | 5,470,345 | |
| -1 | -5,470,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,470,345 ÷ 4 = 1,367,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,367,586.25 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 | 5,470,345 | |
| -1 | 5,470,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 139 | 463 | 695 | 2,315 | 2,363 | 7,871 | 11,815 | 39,355 | 64,357 | 321,785 | 1,094,069 | 5,470,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -139 | -463 | -695 | -2,315 | -2,363 | -7,871 | -11,815 | -39,355 | -64,357 | -321,785 | -1,094,069 | -5,470,345 |
