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 5,618,285, 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 | 5,618,285 | |
| -1 | -5,618,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,618,285.
Example:
1 x 5,618,285 = 5,618,285
and
-1 x -5,618,285 = 5,618,285
Notice both answers equal 5,618,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,618,285 and divide it by 2:
5,618,285 ÷ 2 = 2,809,142.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,809,142.5 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 | 5,618,285 | |
| -1 | -5,618,285 |
Now, we try dividing 5,618,285 by 3:
5,618,285 ÷ 3 = 1,872,761.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,872,761.6667 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 | 5,618,285 | |
| -1 | -5,618,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,618,285 ÷ 4 = 1,404,571.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,404,571.25 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 | 5,618,285 | |
| -1 | 5,618,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 67 | 155 | 335 | 541 | 2,077 | 2,705 | 10,385 | 16,771 | 36,247 | 83,855 | 181,235 | 1,123,657 | 5,618,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -67 | -155 | -335 | -541 | -2,077 | -2,705 | -10,385 | -16,771 | -36,247 | -83,855 | -181,235 | -1,123,657 | -5,618,285 |
