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 5,664,463, 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 | 5,664,463 | |
| -1 | -5,664,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,664,463.
Example:
1 x 5,664,463 = 5,664,463
and
-1 x -5,664,463 = 5,664,463
Notice both answers equal 5,664,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,664,463 and divide it by 2:
5,664,463 ÷ 2 = 2,832,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,832,231.5 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 | 5,664,463 | |
| -1 | -5,664,463 |
Now, we try dividing 5,664,463 by 3:
5,664,463 ÷ 3 = 1,888,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,888,154.3333 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 | 5,664,463 | |
| -1 | -5,664,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,664,463 ÷ 4 = 1,416,115.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,416,115.75 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 | 5,664,463 | |
| -1 | 5,664,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 151 | 161 | 233 | 1,057 | 1,631 | 3,473 | 5,359 | 24,311 | 35,183 | 37,513 | 246,281 | 809,209 | 5,664,463 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -151 | -161 | -233 | -1,057 | -1,631 | -3,473 | -5,359 | -24,311 | -35,183 | -37,513 | -246,281 | -809,209 | -5,664,463 |
