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 5,688,475, 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 | 5,688,475 | |
| -1 | -5,688,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,688,475.
Example:
1 x 5,688,475 = 5,688,475
and
-1 x -5,688,475 = 5,688,475
Notice both answers equal 5,688,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,688,475 and divide it by 2:
5,688,475 ÷ 2 = 2,844,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,844,237.5 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 | 5,688,475 | |
| -1 | -5,688,475 |
Now, we try dividing 5,688,475 by 3:
5,688,475 ÷ 3 = 1,896,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,896,158.3333 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 | 5,688,475 | |
| -1 | -5,688,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,688,475 ÷ 4 = 1,422,118.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,422,118.75 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 | 5,688,475 | |
| -1 | 5,688,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 25 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 325 | 575 | 761 | 1,495 | 3,805 | 7,475 | 9,893 | 17,503 | 19,025 | 49,465 | 87,515 | 227,539 | 247,325 | 437,575 | 1,137,695 | 5,688,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -25 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -325 | -575 | -761 | -1,495 | -3,805 | -7,475 | -9,893 | -17,503 | -19,025 | -49,465 | -87,515 | -227,539 | -247,325 | -437,575 | -1,137,695 | -5,688,475 |
