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 5,494,111, 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 | 5,494,111 | |
| -1 | -5,494,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,494,111.
Example:
1 x 5,494,111 = 5,494,111
and
-1 x -5,494,111 = 5,494,111
Notice both answers equal 5,494,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,494,111 and divide it by 2:
5,494,111 ÷ 2 = 2,747,055.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,747,055.5 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 | 5,494,111 | |
| -1 | -5,494,111 |
Now, we try dividing 5,494,111 by 3:
5,494,111 ÷ 3 = 1,831,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,831,370.3333 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 | 5,494,111 | |
| -1 | -5,494,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,494,111 ÷ 4 = 1,373,527.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,373,527.75 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 | 5,494,111 | |
| -1 | 5,494,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 137 | 337 | 959 | 2,329 | 2,359 | 5,729 | 16,303 | 40,103 | 46,169 | 323,183 | 784,873 | 5,494,111 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -137 | -337 | -959 | -2,329 | -2,359 | -5,729 | -16,303 | -40,103 | -46,169 | -323,183 | -784,873 | -5,494,111 |
