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 5,481,935, 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 | 5,481,935 | |
| -1 | -5,481,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,481,935.
Example:
1 x 5,481,935 = 5,481,935
and
-1 x -5,481,935 = 5,481,935
Notice both answers equal 5,481,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,481,935 and divide it by 2:
5,481,935 ÷ 2 = 2,740,967.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,740,967.5 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 | 5,481,935 | |
| -1 | -5,481,935 |
Now, we try dividing 5,481,935 by 3:
5,481,935 ÷ 3 = 1,827,311.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,827,311.6667 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 | 5,481,935 | |
| -1 | -5,481,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,481,935 ÷ 4 = 1,370,483.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,370,483.75 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 | 5,481,935 | |
| -1 | 5,481,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 73 | 115 | 365 | 653 | 1,679 | 3,265 | 8,395 | 15,019 | 47,669 | 75,095 | 238,345 | 1,096,387 | 5,481,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -73 | -115 | -365 | -653 | -1,679 | -3,265 | -8,395 | -15,019 | -47,669 | -75,095 | -238,345 | -1,096,387 | -5,481,935 |
