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 5,714,135, 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 | 5,714,135 | |
| -1 | -5,714,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,714,135.
Example:
1 x 5,714,135 = 5,714,135
and
-1 x -5,714,135 = 5,714,135
Notice both answers equal 5,714,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,714,135 and divide it by 2:
5,714,135 ÷ 2 = 2,857,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,857,067.5 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 | 5,714,135 | |
| -1 | -5,714,135 |
Now, we try dividing 5,714,135 by 3:
5,714,135 ÷ 3 = 1,904,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,904,711.6667 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 | 5,714,135 | |
| -1 | -5,714,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,714,135 ÷ 4 = 1,428,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,428,533.75 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 | 5,714,135 | |
| -1 | 5,714,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 83 | 245 | 281 | 415 | 581 | 1,405 | 1,967 | 2,905 | 4,067 | 9,835 | 13,769 | 20,335 | 23,323 | 68,845 | 116,615 | 163,261 | 816,305 | 1,142,827 | 5,714,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -83 | -245 | -281 | -415 | -581 | -1,405 | -1,967 | -2,905 | -4,067 | -9,835 | -13,769 | -20,335 | -23,323 | -68,845 | -116,615 | -163,261 | -816,305 | -1,142,827 | -5,714,135 |
