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 5,729,035, 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 | 5,729,035 | |
| -1 | -5,729,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,729,035.
Example:
1 x 5,729,035 = 5,729,035
and
-1 x -5,729,035 = 5,729,035
Notice both answers equal 5,729,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,729,035 and divide it by 2:
5,729,035 ÷ 2 = 2,864,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,864,517.5 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 | 5,729,035 | |
| -1 | -5,729,035 |
Now, we try dividing 5,729,035 by 3:
5,729,035 ÷ 3 = 1,909,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,909,678.3333 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 | 5,729,035 | |
| -1 | -5,729,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,729,035 ÷ 4 = 1,432,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,432,258.75 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 | 5,729,035 | |
| -1 | 5,729,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 53 | 65 | 265 | 689 | 1,663 | 3,445 | 8,315 | 21,619 | 88,139 | 108,095 | 440,695 | 1,145,807 | 5,729,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -53 | -65 | -265 | -689 | -1,663 | -3,445 | -8,315 | -21,619 | -88,139 | -108,095 | -440,695 | -1,145,807 | -5,729,035 |
