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 5,636,827, 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 | 5,636,827 | |
| -1 | -5,636,827 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,636,827.
Example:
1 x 5,636,827 = 5,636,827
and
-1 x -5,636,827 = 5,636,827
Notice both answers equal 5,636,827
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,636,827 and divide it by 2:
5,636,827 ÷ 2 = 2,818,413.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,818,413.5 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 | 5,636,827 | |
| -1 | -5,636,827 |
Now, we try dividing 5,636,827 by 3:
5,636,827 ÷ 3 = 1,878,942.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,878,942.3333 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 | 5,636,827 | |
| -1 | -5,636,827 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,636,827 ÷ 4 = 1,409,206.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,409,206.75 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 | 5,636,827 | |
| -1 | 5,636,827 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 61 | 301 | 307 | 427 | 2,149 | 2,623 | 13,201 | 18,361 | 18,727 | 92,407 | 131,089 | 805,261 | 5,636,827 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -61 | -301 | -307 | -427 | -2,149 | -2,623 | -13,201 | -18,361 | -18,727 | -92,407 | -131,089 | -805,261 | -5,636,827 |
