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 5,582,935, 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 | 5,582,935 | |
| -1 | -5,582,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,582,935.
Example:
1 x 5,582,935 = 5,582,935
and
-1 x -5,582,935 = 5,582,935
Notice both answers equal 5,582,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,582,935 and divide it by 2:
5,582,935 ÷ 2 = 2,791,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,791,467.5 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 | 5,582,935 | |
| -1 | -5,582,935 |
Now, we try dividing 5,582,935 by 3:
5,582,935 ÷ 3 = 1,860,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,860,978.3333 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 | 5,582,935 | |
| -1 | -5,582,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,582,935 ÷ 4 = 1,395,733.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,395,733.75 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 | 5,582,935 | |
| -1 | 5,582,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 139 | 145 | 277 | 695 | 1,385 | 4,031 | 8,033 | 20,155 | 38,503 | 40,165 | 192,515 | 1,116,587 | 5,582,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -139 | -145 | -277 | -695 | -1,385 | -4,031 | -8,033 | -20,155 | -38,503 | -40,165 | -192,515 | -1,116,587 | -5,582,935 |
