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 5,688,595, 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 | 5,688,595 | |
| -1 | -5,688,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,688,595.
Example:
1 x 5,688,595 = 5,688,595
and
-1 x -5,688,595 = 5,688,595
Notice both answers equal 5,688,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,688,595 and divide it by 2:
5,688,595 ÷ 2 = 2,844,297.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,844,297.5 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 | 5,688,595 | |
| -1 | -5,688,595 |
Now, we try dividing 5,688,595 by 3:
5,688,595 ÷ 3 = 1,896,198.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,896,198.3333 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 | 5,688,595 | |
| -1 | -5,688,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,688,595 ÷ 4 = 1,422,148.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,422,148.75 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 | 5,688,595 | |
| -1 | 5,688,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 293 | 353 | 1,465 | 1,765 | 3,223 | 3,883 | 16,115 | 19,415 | 103,429 | 517,145 | 1,137,719 | 5,688,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -293 | -353 | -1,465 | -1,765 | -3,223 | -3,883 | -16,115 | -19,415 | -103,429 | -517,145 | -1,137,719 | -5,688,595 |
