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 5,523,815, 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 | 5,523,815 | |
| -1 | -5,523,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,523,815.
Example:
1 x 5,523,815 = 5,523,815
and
-1 x -5,523,815 = 5,523,815
Notice both answers equal 5,523,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,523,815 and divide it by 2:
5,523,815 ÷ 2 = 2,761,907.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,761,907.5 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 | 5,523,815 | |
| -1 | -5,523,815 |
Now, we try dividing 5,523,815 by 3:
5,523,815 ÷ 3 = 1,841,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,841,271.6667 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 | 5,523,815 | |
| -1 | -5,523,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,523,815 ÷ 4 = 1,380,953.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,380,953.75 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 | 5,523,815 | |
| -1 | 5,523,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 67 | 335 | 737 | 1,499 | 3,685 | 7,495 | 16,489 | 82,445 | 100,433 | 502,165 | 1,104,763 | 5,523,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -67 | -335 | -737 | -1,499 | -3,685 | -7,495 | -16,489 | -82,445 | -100,433 | -502,165 | -1,104,763 | -5,523,815 |
