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 5,710,315, 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 | 5,710,315 | |
| -1 | -5,710,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,710,315.
Example:
1 x 5,710,315 = 5,710,315
and
-1 x -5,710,315 = 5,710,315
Notice both answers equal 5,710,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,710,315 and divide it by 2:
5,710,315 ÷ 2 = 2,855,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,855,157.5 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 | 5,710,315 | |
| -1 | -5,710,315 |
Now, we try dividing 5,710,315 by 3:
5,710,315 ÷ 3 = 1,903,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,903,438.3333 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 | 5,710,315 | |
| -1 | -5,710,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,710,315 ÷ 4 = 1,427,578.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,427,578.75 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 | 5,710,315 | |
| -1 | 5,710,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 1,489 | 3,835 | 7,445 | 19,357 | 87,851 | 96,785 | 439,255 | 1,142,063 | 5,710,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -1,489 | -3,835 | -7,445 | -19,357 | -87,851 | -96,785 | -439,255 | -1,142,063 | -5,710,315 |
