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 5,730,005, 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 | 5,730,005 | |
| -1 | -5,730,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,730,005.
Example:
1 x 5,730,005 = 5,730,005
and
-1 x -5,730,005 = 5,730,005
Notice both answers equal 5,730,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,730,005 and divide it by 2:
5,730,005 ÷ 2 = 2,865,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,865,002.5 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 | 5,730,005 | |
| -1 | -5,730,005 |
Now, we try dividing 5,730,005 by 3:
5,730,005 ÷ 3 = 1,910,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,910,001.6667 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 | 5,730,005 | |
| -1 | -5,730,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,730,005 ÷ 4 = 1,432,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,432,501.25 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 | 5,730,005 | |
| -1 | 5,730,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 47 | 185 | 235 | 659 | 1,739 | 3,295 | 8,695 | 24,383 | 30,973 | 121,915 | 154,865 | 1,146,001 | 5,730,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -47 | -185 | -235 | -659 | -1,739 | -3,295 | -8,695 | -24,383 | -30,973 | -121,915 | -154,865 | -1,146,001 | -5,730,005 |
