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 5,554,109, 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 | 5,554,109 | |
| -1 | -5,554,109 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,554,109.
Example:
1 x 5,554,109 = 5,554,109
and
-1 x -5,554,109 = 5,554,109
Notice both answers equal 5,554,109
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,554,109 and divide it by 2:
5,554,109 ÷ 2 = 2,777,054.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,777,054.5 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 | 5,554,109 | |
| -1 | -5,554,109 |
Now, we try dividing 5,554,109 by 3:
5,554,109 ÷ 3 = 1,851,369.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,851,369.6667 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 | 5,554,109 | |
| -1 | -5,554,109 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,554,109 ÷ 4 = 1,388,527.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,388,527.25 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 | 5,554,109 | |
| -1 | 5,554,109 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 29 | 253 | 319 | 667 | 757 | 7,337 | 8,327 | 17,411 | 21,953 | 191,521 | 241,483 | 504,919 | 5,554,109 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -29 | -253 | -319 | -667 | -757 | -7,337 | -8,327 | -17,411 | -21,953 | -191,521 | -241,483 | -504,919 | -5,554,109 |
