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 5,544,143, 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 | 5,544,143 | |
| -1 | -5,544,143 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,544,143.
Example:
1 x 5,544,143 = 5,544,143
and
-1 x -5,544,143 = 5,544,143
Notice both answers equal 5,544,143
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,544,143 and divide it by 2:
5,544,143 ÷ 2 = 2,772,071.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,772,071.5 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 | 5,544,143 | |
| -1 | -5,544,143 |
Now, we try dividing 5,544,143 by 3:
5,544,143 ÷ 3 = 1,848,047.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,848,047.6667 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 | 5,544,143 | |
| -1 | -5,544,143 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,544,143 ÷ 4 = 1,386,035.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,386,035.75 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 | 5,544,143 | |
| -1 | 5,544,143 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 41 | 209 | 451 | 647 | 779 | 7,117 | 8,569 | 12,293 | 26,527 | 135,223 | 291,797 | 504,013 | 5,544,143 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -41 | -209 | -451 | -647 | -779 | -7,117 | -8,569 | -12,293 | -26,527 | -135,223 | -291,797 | -504,013 | -5,544,143 |
