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 5,480,839, 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 | 5,480,839 | |
| -1 | -5,480,839 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,480,839.
Example:
1 x 5,480,839 = 5,480,839
and
-1 x -5,480,839 = 5,480,839
Notice both answers equal 5,480,839
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,480,839 and divide it by 2:
5,480,839 ÷ 2 = 2,740,419.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,740,419.5 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 | 5,480,839 | |
| -1 | -5,480,839 |
Now, we try dividing 5,480,839 by 3:
5,480,839 ÷ 3 = 1,826,946.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,826,946.3333 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 | 5,480,839 | |
| -1 | -5,480,839 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,480,839 ÷ 4 = 1,370,209.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,370,209.75 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 | 5,480,839 | |
| -1 | 5,480,839 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 113 | 169 | 287 | 533 | 791 | 1,183 | 1,469 | 3,731 | 4,633 | 6,929 | 10,283 | 19,097 | 32,431 | 48,503 | 60,229 | 133,679 | 421,603 | 782,977 | 5,480,839 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -113 | -169 | -287 | -533 | -791 | -1,183 | -1,469 | -3,731 | -4,633 | -6,929 | -10,283 | -19,097 | -32,431 | -48,503 | -60,229 | -133,679 | -421,603 | -782,977 | -5,480,839 |
