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 5,724,235, 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 | 5,724,235 | |
| -1 | -5,724,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,724,235.
Example:
1 x 5,724,235 = 5,724,235
and
-1 x -5,724,235 = 5,724,235
Notice both answers equal 5,724,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,724,235 and divide it by 2:
5,724,235 ÷ 2 = 2,862,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,862,117.5 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 | 5,724,235 | |
| -1 | -5,724,235 |
Now, we try dividing 5,724,235 by 3:
5,724,235 ÷ 3 = 1,908,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,908,078.3333 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 | 5,724,235 | |
| -1 | -5,724,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,724,235 ÷ 4 = 1,431,058.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,431,058.75 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 | 5,724,235 | |
| -1 | 5,724,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 199 | 523 | 995 | 2,189 | 2,615 | 5,753 | 10,945 | 28,765 | 104,077 | 520,385 | 1,144,847 | 5,724,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -199 | -523 | -995 | -2,189 | -2,615 | -5,753 | -10,945 | -28,765 | -104,077 | -520,385 | -1,144,847 | -5,724,235 |
