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 5,573,945, 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 | 5,573,945 | |
| -1 | -5,573,945 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,573,945.
Example:
1 x 5,573,945 = 5,573,945
and
-1 x -5,573,945 = 5,573,945
Notice both answers equal 5,573,945
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,573,945 and divide it by 2:
5,573,945 ÷ 2 = 2,786,972.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,786,972.5 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 | 5,573,945 | |
| -1 | -5,573,945 |
Now, we try dividing 5,573,945 by 3:
5,573,945 ÷ 3 = 1,857,981.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,857,981.6667 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 | 5,573,945 | |
| -1 | -5,573,945 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,573,945 ÷ 4 = 1,393,486.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,393,486.25 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 | 5,573,945 | |
| -1 | 5,573,945 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 29 | 65 | 145 | 377 | 1,885 | 2,957 | 14,785 | 38,441 | 85,753 | 192,205 | 428,765 | 1,114,789 | 5,573,945 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -29 | -65 | -145 | -377 | -1,885 | -2,957 | -14,785 | -38,441 | -85,753 | -192,205 | -428,765 | -1,114,789 | -5,573,945 |
