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 5,718,475, 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 | 5,718,475 | |
| -1 | -5,718,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,718,475.
Example:
1 x 5,718,475 = 5,718,475
and
-1 x -5,718,475 = 5,718,475
Notice both answers equal 5,718,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,718,475 and divide it by 2:
5,718,475 ÷ 2 = 2,859,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,859,237.5 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 | 5,718,475 | |
| -1 | -5,718,475 |
Now, we try dividing 5,718,475 by 3:
5,718,475 ÷ 3 = 1,906,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,906,158.3333 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 | 5,718,475 | |
| -1 | -5,718,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,718,475 ÷ 4 = 1,429,618.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,429,618.75 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 | 5,718,475 | |
| -1 | 5,718,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 41 | 175 | 205 | 287 | 797 | 1,025 | 1,435 | 3,985 | 5,579 | 7,175 | 19,925 | 27,895 | 32,677 | 139,475 | 163,385 | 228,739 | 816,925 | 1,143,695 | 5,718,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -41 | -175 | -205 | -287 | -797 | -1,025 | -1,435 | -3,985 | -5,579 | -7,175 | -19,925 | -27,895 | -32,677 | -139,475 | -163,385 | -228,739 | -816,925 | -1,143,695 | -5,718,475 |
