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 5,717,327, 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 | 5,717,327 | |
| -1 | -5,717,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,717,327.
Example:
1 x 5,717,327 = 5,717,327
and
-1 x -5,717,327 = 5,717,327
Notice both answers equal 5,717,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,717,327 and divide it by 2:
5,717,327 ÷ 2 = 2,858,663.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,858,663.5 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 | 5,717,327 | |
| -1 | -5,717,327 |
Now, we try dividing 5,717,327 by 3:
5,717,327 ÷ 3 = 1,905,775.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,905,775.6667 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 | 5,717,327 | |
| -1 | -5,717,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,717,327 ÷ 4 = 1,429,331.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,429,331.75 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 | 5,717,327 | |
| -1 | 5,717,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 41 | 77 | 287 | 451 | 1,811 | 3,157 | 12,677 | 19,921 | 74,251 | 139,447 | 519,757 | 816,761 | 5,717,327 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -41 | -77 | -287 | -451 | -1,811 | -3,157 | -12,677 | -19,921 | -74,251 | -139,447 | -519,757 | -816,761 | -5,717,327 |
