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 5,685,757, 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 | 5,685,757 | |
| -1 | -5,685,757 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,685,757.
Example:
1 x 5,685,757 = 5,685,757
and
-1 x -5,685,757 = 5,685,757
Notice both answers equal 5,685,757
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,685,757 and divide it by 2:
5,685,757 ÷ 2 = 2,842,878.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,842,878.5 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 | 5,685,757 | |
| -1 | -5,685,757 |
Now, we try dividing 5,685,757 by 3:
5,685,757 ÷ 3 = 1,895,252.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,895,252.3333 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 | 5,685,757 | |
| -1 | -5,685,757 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,685,757 ÷ 4 = 1,421,439.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,421,439.25 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 | 5,685,757 | |
| -1 | 5,685,757 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 41 | 77 | 287 | 451 | 1,801 | 3,157 | 12,607 | 19,811 | 73,841 | 138,677 | 516,887 | 812,251 | 5,685,757 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -41 | -77 | -287 | -451 | -1,801 | -3,157 | -12,607 | -19,811 | -73,841 | -138,677 | -516,887 | -812,251 | -5,685,757 |
