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 5,472,089, 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 | 5,472,089 | |
| -1 | -5,472,089 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,472,089.
Example:
1 x 5,472,089 = 5,472,089
and
-1 x -5,472,089 = 5,472,089
Notice both answers equal 5,472,089
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,472,089 and divide it by 2:
5,472,089 ÷ 2 = 2,736,044.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,736,044.5 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 | 5,472,089 | |
| -1 | -5,472,089 |
Now, we try dividing 5,472,089 by 3:
5,472,089 ÷ 3 = 1,824,029.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,824,029.6667 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 | 5,472,089 | |
| -1 | -5,472,089 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,472,089 ÷ 4 = 1,368,022.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,368,022.25 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 | 5,472,089 | |
| -1 | 5,472,089 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 151 | 167 | 217 | 1,057 | 1,169 | 4,681 | 5,177 | 25,217 | 32,767 | 36,239 | 176,519 | 781,727 | 5,472,089 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -151 | -167 | -217 | -1,057 | -1,169 | -4,681 | -5,177 | -25,217 | -32,767 | -36,239 | -176,519 | -781,727 | -5,472,089 |
