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 5,615,309, 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 | 5,615,309 | |
| -1 | -5,615,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,615,309.
Example:
1 x 5,615,309 = 5,615,309
and
-1 x -5,615,309 = 5,615,309
Notice both answers equal 5,615,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,615,309 and divide it by 2:
5,615,309 ÷ 2 = 2,807,654.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,807,654.5 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 | 5,615,309 | |
| -1 | -5,615,309 |
Now, we try dividing 5,615,309 by 3:
5,615,309 ÷ 3 = 1,871,769.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,871,769.6667 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 | 5,615,309 | |
| -1 | -5,615,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,615,309 ÷ 4 = 1,403,827.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,403,827.25 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 | 5,615,309 | |
| -1 | 5,615,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 113 | 217 | 229 | 791 | 1,603 | 3,503 | 7,099 | 24,521 | 25,877 | 49,693 | 181,139 | 802,187 | 5,615,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -113 | -217 | -229 | -791 | -1,603 | -3,503 | -7,099 | -24,521 | -25,877 | -49,693 | -181,139 | -802,187 | -5,615,309 |
