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 5,680,085, 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 | 5,680,085 | |
| -1 | -5,680,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,680,085.
Example:
1 x 5,680,085 = 5,680,085
and
-1 x -5,680,085 = 5,680,085
Notice both answers equal 5,680,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,680,085 and divide it by 2:
5,680,085 ÷ 2 = 2,840,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,840,042.5 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 | 5,680,085 | |
| -1 | -5,680,085 |
Now, we try dividing 5,680,085 by 3:
5,680,085 ÷ 3 = 1,893,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,893,361.6667 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 | 5,680,085 | |
| -1 | -5,680,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,680,085 ÷ 4 = 1,420,021.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,420,021.25 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 | 5,680,085 | |
| -1 | 5,680,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 43 | 145 | 215 | 911 | 1,247 | 4,555 | 6,235 | 26,419 | 39,173 | 132,095 | 195,865 | 1,136,017 | 5,680,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -43 | -145 | -215 | -911 | -1,247 | -4,555 | -6,235 | -26,419 | -39,173 | -132,095 | -195,865 | -1,136,017 | -5,680,085 |
