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 5,711,797, 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 | 5,711,797 | |
| -1 | -5,711,797 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,711,797.
Example:
1 x 5,711,797 = 5,711,797
and
-1 x -5,711,797 = 5,711,797
Notice both answers equal 5,711,797
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,711,797 and divide it by 2:
5,711,797 ÷ 2 = 2,855,898.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,855,898.5 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 | 5,711,797 | |
| -1 | -5,711,797 |
Now, we try dividing 5,711,797 by 3:
5,711,797 ÷ 3 = 1,903,932.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,903,932.3333 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 | 5,711,797 | |
| -1 | -5,711,797 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,711,797 ÷ 4 = 1,427,949.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,427,949.25 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 | 5,711,797 | |
| -1 | 5,711,797 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 2,093 | 2,729 | 19,103 | 35,477 | 62,767 | 248,339 | 439,369 | 815,971 | 5,711,797 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -2,093 | -2,729 | -19,103 | -35,477 | -62,767 | -248,339 | -439,369 | -815,971 | -5,711,797 |
