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 5,612,023, 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 | 5,612,023 | |
| -1 | -5,612,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,612,023.
Example:
1 x 5,612,023 = 5,612,023
and
-1 x -5,612,023 = 5,612,023
Notice both answers equal 5,612,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,612,023 and divide it by 2:
5,612,023 ÷ 2 = 2,806,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,806,011.5 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 | 5,612,023 | |
| -1 | -5,612,023 |
Now, we try dividing 5,612,023 by 3:
5,612,023 ÷ 3 = 1,870,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,870,674.3333 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 | 5,612,023 | |
| -1 | -5,612,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,612,023 ÷ 4 = 1,403,005.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,403,005.75 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 | 5,612,023 | |
| -1 | 5,612,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 31 | 391 | 463 | 527 | 713 | 7,871 | 10,649 | 12,121 | 14,353 | 181,033 | 244,001 | 330,119 | 5,612,023 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -31 | -391 | -463 | -527 | -713 | -7,871 | -10,649 | -12,121 | -14,353 | -181,033 | -244,001 | -330,119 | -5,612,023 |
