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 5,730,139, 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 | 5,730,139 | |
| -1 | -5,730,139 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,730,139.
Example:
1 x 5,730,139 = 5,730,139
and
-1 x -5,730,139 = 5,730,139
Notice both answers equal 5,730,139
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,730,139 and divide it by 2:
5,730,139 ÷ 2 = 2,865,069.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,865,069.5 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 | 5,730,139 | |
| -1 | -5,730,139 |
Now, we try dividing 5,730,139 by 3:
5,730,139 ÷ 3 = 1,910,046.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,910,046.3333 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 | 5,730,139 | |
| -1 | -5,730,139 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,730,139 ÷ 4 = 1,432,534.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,432,534.75 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 | 5,730,139 | |
| -1 | 5,730,139 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 59 | 197 | 493 | 1,003 | 1,711 | 3,349 | 5,713 | 11,623 | 29,087 | 97,121 | 197,591 | 337,067 | 5,730,139 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -59 | -197 | -493 | -1,003 | -1,711 | -3,349 | -5,713 | -11,623 | -29,087 | -97,121 | -197,591 | -337,067 | -5,730,139 |
