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 5,470,507, 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 | 5,470,507 | |
| -1 | -5,470,507 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,470,507.
Example:
1 x 5,470,507 = 5,470,507
and
-1 x -5,470,507 = 5,470,507
Notice both answers equal 5,470,507
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,470,507 and divide it by 2:
5,470,507 ÷ 2 = 2,735,253.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,735,253.5 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 | 5,470,507 | |
| -1 | -5,470,507 |
Now, we try dividing 5,470,507 by 3:
5,470,507 ÷ 3 = 1,823,502.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,823,502.3333 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 | 5,470,507 | |
| -1 | -5,470,507 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,470,507 ÷ 4 = 1,367,626.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,367,626.75 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 | 5,470,507 | |
| -1 | 5,470,507 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 49 | 287 | 343 | 389 | 2,009 | 2,723 | 14,063 | 15,949 | 19,061 | 111,643 | 133,427 | 781,501 | 5,470,507 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -49 | -287 | -343 | -389 | -2,009 | -2,723 | -14,063 | -15,949 | -19,061 | -111,643 | -133,427 | -781,501 | -5,470,507 |
