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 5,715,535, 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 | 5,715,535 | |
| -1 | -5,715,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,715,535.
Example:
1 x 5,715,535 = 5,715,535
and
-1 x -5,715,535 = 5,715,535
Notice both answers equal 5,715,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,715,535 and divide it by 2:
5,715,535 ÷ 2 = 2,857,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,857,767.5 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 | 5,715,535 | |
| -1 | -5,715,535 |
Now, we try dividing 5,715,535 by 3:
5,715,535 ÷ 3 = 1,905,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,905,178.3333 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 | 5,715,535 | |
| -1 | -5,715,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,715,535 ÷ 4 = 1,428,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,428,883.75 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 | 5,715,535 | |
| -1 | 5,715,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 73 | 365 | 511 | 2,237 | 2,555 | 11,185 | 15,659 | 78,295 | 163,301 | 816,505 | 1,143,107 | 5,715,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -73 | -365 | -511 | -2,237 | -2,555 | -11,185 | -15,659 | -78,295 | -163,301 | -816,505 | -1,143,107 | -5,715,535 |
