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 5,646,245, 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 | 5,646,245 | |
| -1 | -5,646,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,646,245.
Example:
1 x 5,646,245 = 5,646,245
and
-1 x -5,646,245 = 5,646,245
Notice both answers equal 5,646,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,646,245 and divide it by 2:
5,646,245 ÷ 2 = 2,823,122.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,823,122.5 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 | 5,646,245 | |
| -1 | -5,646,245 |
Now, we try dividing 5,646,245 by 3:
5,646,245 ÷ 3 = 1,882,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,882,081.6667 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 | 5,646,245 | |
| -1 | -5,646,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,646,245 ÷ 4 = 1,411,561.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,411,561.25 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 | 5,646,245 | |
| -1 | 5,646,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 251 | 409 | 1,255 | 2,045 | 2,761 | 4,499 | 13,805 | 22,495 | 102,659 | 513,295 | 1,129,249 | 5,646,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -251 | -409 | -1,255 | -2,045 | -2,761 | -4,499 | -13,805 | -22,495 | -102,659 | -513,295 | -1,129,249 | -5,646,245 |
