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 5,661,601, 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 | 5,661,601 | |
| -1 | -5,661,601 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,661,601.
Example:
1 x 5,661,601 = 5,661,601
and
-1 x -5,661,601 = 5,661,601
Notice both answers equal 5,661,601
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,661,601 and divide it by 2:
5,661,601 ÷ 2 = 2,830,800.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,830,800.5 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 | 5,661,601 | |
| -1 | -5,661,601 |
Now, we try dividing 5,661,601 by 3:
5,661,601 ÷ 3 = 1,887,200.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,887,200.3333 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 | 5,661,601 | |
| -1 | -5,661,601 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,661,601 ÷ 4 = 1,415,400.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,415,400.25 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 | 5,661,601 | |
| -1 | 5,661,601 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 103 | 209 | 263 | 1,133 | 1,957 | 2,893 | 4,997 | 21,527 | 27,089 | 54,967 | 297,979 | 514,691 | 5,661,601 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -103 | -209 | -263 | -1,133 | -1,957 | -2,893 | -4,997 | -21,527 | -27,089 | -54,967 | -297,979 | -514,691 | -5,661,601 |
