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 5,477,605, 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 | 5,477,605 | |
| -1 | -5,477,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,477,605.
Example:
1 x 5,477,605 = 5,477,605
and
-1 x -5,477,605 = 5,477,605
Notice both answers equal 5,477,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,477,605 and divide it by 2:
5,477,605 ÷ 2 = 2,738,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,738,802.5 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 | 5,477,605 | |
| -1 | -5,477,605 |
Now, we try dividing 5,477,605 by 3:
5,477,605 ÷ 3 = 1,825,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,825,868.3333 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 | 5,477,605 | |
| -1 | -5,477,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,477,605 ÷ 4 = 1,369,401.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,369,401.25 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 | 5,477,605 | |
| -1 | 5,477,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 8,237 | 41,185 | 57,659 | 156,503 | 288,295 | 782,515 | 1,095,521 | 5,477,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -8,237 | -41,185 | -57,659 | -156,503 | -288,295 | -782,515 | -1,095,521 | -5,477,605 |
