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 5,745,817, 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 | 5,745,817 | |
| -1 | -5,745,817 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,745,817.
Example:
1 x 5,745,817 = 5,745,817
and
-1 x -5,745,817 = 5,745,817
Notice both answers equal 5,745,817
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,745,817 and divide it by 2:
5,745,817 ÷ 2 = 2,872,908.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,872,908.5 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 | 5,745,817 | |
| -1 | -5,745,817 |
Now, we try dividing 5,745,817 by 3:
5,745,817 ÷ 3 = 1,915,272.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,915,272.3333 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 | 5,745,817 | |
| -1 | -5,745,817 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,745,817 ÷ 4 = 1,436,454.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,436,454.25 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 | 5,745,817 | |
| -1 | 5,745,817 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 71 | 77 | 497 | 781 | 1,051 | 5,467 | 7,357 | 11,561 | 74,621 | 80,927 | 522,347 | 820,831 | 5,745,817 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -71 | -77 | -497 | -781 | -1,051 | -5,467 | -7,357 | -11,561 | -74,621 | -80,927 | -522,347 | -820,831 | -5,745,817 |
