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 5,553,605, 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 | 5,553,605 | |
| -1 | -5,553,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,553,605.
Example:
1 x 5,553,605 = 5,553,605
and
-1 x -5,553,605 = 5,553,605
Notice both answers equal 5,553,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,553,605 and divide it by 2:
5,553,605 ÷ 2 = 2,776,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,776,802.5 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 | 5,553,605 | |
| -1 | -5,553,605 |
Now, we try dividing 5,553,605 by 3:
5,553,605 ÷ 3 = 1,851,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,851,201.6667 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 | 5,553,605 | |
| -1 | -5,553,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,553,605 ÷ 4 = 1,388,401.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,388,401.25 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 | 5,553,605 | |
| -1 | 5,553,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 53 | 95 | 265 | 1,007 | 1,103 | 5,035 | 5,515 | 20,957 | 58,459 | 104,785 | 292,295 | 1,110,721 | 5,553,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -53 | -95 | -265 | -1,007 | -1,103 | -5,035 | -5,515 | -20,957 | -58,459 | -104,785 | -292,295 | -1,110,721 | -5,553,605 |
