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 5,684,615, 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 | 5,684,615 | |
| -1 | -5,684,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,684,615.
Example:
1 x 5,684,615 = 5,684,615
and
-1 x -5,684,615 = 5,684,615
Notice both answers equal 5,684,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,684,615 and divide it by 2:
5,684,615 ÷ 2 = 2,842,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,842,307.5 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 | 5,684,615 | |
| -1 | -5,684,615 |
Now, we try dividing 5,684,615 by 3:
5,684,615 ÷ 3 = 1,894,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,894,871.6667 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 | 5,684,615 | |
| -1 | -5,684,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,684,615 ÷ 4 = 1,421,153.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,421,153.75 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 | 5,684,615 | |
| -1 | 5,684,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 71 | 239 | 335 | 355 | 1,195 | 4,757 | 16,013 | 16,969 | 23,785 | 80,065 | 84,845 | 1,136,923 | 5,684,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -71 | -239 | -335 | -355 | -1,195 | -4,757 | -16,013 | -16,969 | -23,785 | -80,065 | -84,845 | -1,136,923 | -5,684,615 |
