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 5,484,865, 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 | 5,484,865 | |
| -1 | -5,484,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,484,865.
Example:
1 x 5,484,865 = 5,484,865
and
-1 x -5,484,865 = 5,484,865
Notice both answers equal 5,484,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,484,865 and divide it by 2:
5,484,865 ÷ 2 = 2,742,432.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,742,432.5 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 | 5,484,865 | |
| -1 | -5,484,865 |
Now, we try dividing 5,484,865 by 3:
5,484,865 ÷ 3 = 1,828,288.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,828,288.3333 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 | 5,484,865 | |
| -1 | -5,484,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,484,865 ÷ 4 = 1,371,216.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,371,216.25 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 | 5,484,865 | |
| -1 | 5,484,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 97 | 215 | 263 | 485 | 1,315 | 4,171 | 11,309 | 20,855 | 25,511 | 56,545 | 127,555 | 1,096,973 | 5,484,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -97 | -215 | -263 | -485 | -1,315 | -4,171 | -11,309 | -20,855 | -25,511 | -56,545 | -127,555 | -1,096,973 | -5,484,865 |
