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 5,492,515, 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 | 5,492,515 | |
| -1 | -5,492,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,492,515.
Example:
1 x 5,492,515 = 5,492,515
and
-1 x -5,492,515 = 5,492,515
Notice both answers equal 5,492,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,492,515 and divide it by 2:
5,492,515 ÷ 2 = 2,746,257.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,746,257.5 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 | 5,492,515 | |
| -1 | -5,492,515 |
Now, we try dividing 5,492,515 by 3:
5,492,515 ÷ 3 = 1,830,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,830,838.3333 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 | 5,492,515 | |
| -1 | -5,492,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,492,515 ÷ 4 = 1,373,128.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,373,128.75 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 | 5,492,515 | |
| -1 | 5,492,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 6,823 | 34,115 | 47,761 | 156,929 | 238,805 | 784,645 | 1,098,503 | 5,492,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -6,823 | -34,115 | -47,761 | -156,929 | -238,805 | -784,645 | -1,098,503 | -5,492,515 |
