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 5,479,315, 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 | 5,479,315 | |
| -1 | -5,479,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,479,315.
Example:
1 x 5,479,315 = 5,479,315
and
-1 x -5,479,315 = 5,479,315
Notice both answers equal 5,479,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,479,315 and divide it by 2:
5,479,315 ÷ 2 = 2,739,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,739,657.5 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 | 5,479,315 | |
| -1 | -5,479,315 |
Now, we try dividing 5,479,315 by 3:
5,479,315 ÷ 3 = 1,826,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,826,438.3333 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 | 5,479,315 | |
| -1 | -5,479,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,479,315 ÷ 4 = 1,369,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,369,828.75 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 | 5,479,315 | |
| -1 | 5,479,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 137 | 421 | 685 | 2,105 | 2,603 | 7,999 | 13,015 | 39,995 | 57,677 | 288,385 | 1,095,863 | 5,479,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -137 | -421 | -685 | -2,105 | -2,603 | -7,999 | -13,015 | -39,995 | -57,677 | -288,385 | -1,095,863 | -5,479,315 |
