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 5,507,827, 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 | 5,507,827 | |
| -1 | -5,507,827 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,507,827.
Example:
1 x 5,507,827 = 5,507,827
and
-1 x -5,507,827 = 5,507,827
Notice both answers equal 5,507,827
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,507,827 and divide it by 2:
5,507,827 ÷ 2 = 2,753,913.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,753,913.5 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 | 5,507,827 | |
| -1 | -5,507,827 |
Now, we try dividing 5,507,827 by 3:
5,507,827 ÷ 3 = 1,835,942.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,835,942.3333 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 | 5,507,827 | |
| -1 | -5,507,827 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,507,827 ÷ 4 = 1,376,956.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,376,956.75 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 | 5,507,827 | |
| -1 | 5,507,827 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 59 | 167 | 559 | 767 | 2,171 | 2,537 | 7,181 | 9,853 | 32,981 | 93,353 | 128,089 | 423,679 | 5,507,827 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -59 | -167 | -559 | -767 | -2,171 | -2,537 | -7,181 | -9,853 | -32,981 | -93,353 | -128,089 | -423,679 | -5,507,827 |
