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 5,616,505, 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 | 5,616,505 | |
| -1 | -5,616,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,616,505.
Example:
1 x 5,616,505 = 5,616,505
and
-1 x -5,616,505 = 5,616,505
Notice both answers equal 5,616,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,616,505 and divide it by 2:
5,616,505 ÷ 2 = 2,808,252.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,808,252.5 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 | 5,616,505 | |
| -1 | -5,616,505 |
Now, we try dividing 5,616,505 by 3:
5,616,505 ÷ 3 = 1,872,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,872,168.3333 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 | 5,616,505 | |
| -1 | -5,616,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,616,505 ÷ 4 = 1,404,126.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,404,126.25 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 | 5,616,505 | |
| -1 | 5,616,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 79 | 241 | 295 | 395 | 1,205 | 4,661 | 14,219 | 19,039 | 23,305 | 71,095 | 95,195 | 1,123,301 | 5,616,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -79 | -241 | -295 | -395 | -1,205 | -4,661 | -14,219 | -19,039 | -23,305 | -71,095 | -95,195 | -1,123,301 | -5,616,505 |
