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 5,511,335, 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 | 5,511,335 | |
| -1 | -5,511,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,511,335.
Example:
1 x 5,511,335 = 5,511,335
and
-1 x -5,511,335 = 5,511,335
Notice both answers equal 5,511,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,511,335 and divide it by 2:
5,511,335 ÷ 2 = 2,755,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,755,667.5 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 | 5,511,335 | |
| -1 | -5,511,335 |
Now, we try dividing 5,511,335 by 3:
5,511,335 ÷ 3 = 1,837,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,837,111.6667 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 | 5,511,335 | |
| -1 | -5,511,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,511,335 ÷ 4 = 1,377,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,377,833.75 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 | 5,511,335 | |
| -1 | 5,511,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 37 | 155 | 185 | 961 | 1,147 | 4,805 | 5,735 | 29,791 | 35,557 | 148,955 | 177,785 | 1,102,267 | 5,511,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -37 | -155 | -185 | -961 | -1,147 | -4,805 | -5,735 | -29,791 | -35,557 | -148,955 | -177,785 | -1,102,267 | -5,511,335 |
