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 5,738,575, 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 | 5,738,575 | |
| -1 | -5,738,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,738,575.
Example:
1 x 5,738,575 = 5,738,575
and
-1 x -5,738,575 = 5,738,575
Notice both answers equal 5,738,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,738,575 and divide it by 2:
5,738,575 ÷ 2 = 2,869,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,869,287.5 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 | 5,738,575 | |
| -1 | -5,738,575 |
Now, we try dividing 5,738,575 by 3:
5,738,575 ÷ 3 = 1,912,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,912,858.3333 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 | 5,738,575 | |
| -1 | -5,738,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,738,575 ÷ 4 = 1,434,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,434,643.75 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 | 5,738,575 | |
| -1 | 5,738,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 53 | 61 | 71 | 265 | 305 | 355 | 1,325 | 1,525 | 1,775 | 3,233 | 3,763 | 4,331 | 16,165 | 18,815 | 21,655 | 80,825 | 94,075 | 108,275 | 229,543 | 1,147,715 | 5,738,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -53 | -61 | -71 | -265 | -305 | -355 | -1,325 | -1,525 | -1,775 | -3,233 | -3,763 | -4,331 | -16,165 | -18,815 | -21,655 | -80,825 | -94,075 | -108,275 | -229,543 | -1,147,715 | -5,738,575 |
