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 5,711,153, 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 | 5,711,153 | |
| -1 | -5,711,153 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,711,153.
Example:
1 x 5,711,153 = 5,711,153
and
-1 x -5,711,153 = 5,711,153
Notice both answers equal 5,711,153
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,711,153 and divide it by 2:
5,711,153 ÷ 2 = 2,855,576.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,855,576.5 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 | 5,711,153 | |
| -1 | -5,711,153 |
Now, we try dividing 5,711,153 by 3:
5,711,153 ÷ 3 = 1,903,717.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,903,717.6667 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 | 5,711,153 | |
| -1 | -5,711,153 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,711,153 ÷ 4 = 1,427,788.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,427,788.25 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 | 5,711,153 | |
| -1 | 5,711,153 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 23 | 133 | 161 | 437 | 1,867 | 3,059 | 13,069 | 35,473 | 42,941 | 248,311 | 300,587 | 815,879 | 5,711,153 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -23 | -133 | -161 | -437 | -1,867 | -3,059 | -13,069 | -35,473 | -42,941 | -248,311 | -300,587 | -815,879 | -5,711,153 |
