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 5,663,917, 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 | 5,663,917 | |
| -1 | -5,663,917 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,663,917.
Example:
1 x 5,663,917 = 5,663,917
and
-1 x -5,663,917 = 5,663,917
Notice both answers equal 5,663,917
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,663,917 and divide it by 2:
5,663,917 ÷ 2 = 2,831,958.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,831,958.5 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 | 5,663,917 | |
| -1 | -5,663,917 |
Now, we try dividing 5,663,917 by 3:
5,663,917 ÷ 3 = 1,887,972.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,887,972.3333 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 | 5,663,917 | |
| -1 | -5,663,917 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,663,917 ÷ 4 = 1,415,979.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,415,979.25 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 | 5,663,917 | |
| -1 | 5,663,917 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 43 | 217 | 301 | 607 | 1,333 | 4,249 | 9,331 | 18,817 | 26,101 | 131,719 | 182,707 | 809,131 | 5,663,917 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -43 | -217 | -301 | -607 | -1,333 | -4,249 | -9,331 | -18,817 | -26,101 | -131,719 | -182,707 | -809,131 | -5,663,917 |
