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 5,654,155, 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 | 5,654,155 | |
| -1 | -5,654,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,654,155.
Example:
1 x 5,654,155 = 5,654,155
and
-1 x -5,654,155 = 5,654,155
Notice both answers equal 5,654,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,654,155 and divide it by 2:
5,654,155 ÷ 2 = 2,827,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,827,077.5 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 | 5,654,155 | |
| -1 | -5,654,155 |
Now, we try dividing 5,654,155 by 3:
5,654,155 ÷ 3 = 1,884,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,884,718.3333 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 | 5,654,155 | |
| -1 | -5,654,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,654,155 ÷ 4 = 1,413,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,413,538.75 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 | 5,654,155 | |
| -1 | 5,654,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 37 | 65 | 185 | 481 | 2,351 | 2,405 | 11,755 | 30,563 | 86,987 | 152,815 | 434,935 | 1,130,831 | 5,654,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -37 | -65 | -185 | -481 | -2,351 | -2,405 | -11,755 | -30,563 | -86,987 | -152,815 | -434,935 | -1,130,831 | -5,654,155 |
