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 5,712,889, 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 | 5,712,889 | |
| -1 | -5,712,889 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,712,889.
Example:
1 x 5,712,889 = 5,712,889
and
-1 x -5,712,889 = 5,712,889
Notice both answers equal 5,712,889
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,712,889 and divide it by 2:
5,712,889 ÷ 2 = 2,856,444.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,856,444.5 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 | 5,712,889 | |
| -1 | -5,712,889 |
Now, we try dividing 5,712,889 by 3:
5,712,889 ÷ 3 = 1,904,296.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,904,296.3333 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 | 5,712,889 | |
| -1 | -5,712,889 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,712,889 ÷ 4 = 1,428,222.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,428,222.25 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 | 5,712,889 | |
| -1 | 5,712,889 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 67 | 91 | 469 | 871 | 937 | 6,097 | 6,559 | 12,181 | 62,779 | 85,267 | 439,453 | 816,127 | 5,712,889 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -67 | -91 | -469 | -871 | -937 | -6,097 | -6,559 | -12,181 | -62,779 | -85,267 | -439,453 | -816,127 | -5,712,889 |
