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 5,778,253, 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 | 5,778,253 | |
| -1 | -5,778,253 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,778,253.
Example:
1 x 5,778,253 = 5,778,253
and
-1 x -5,778,253 = 5,778,253
Notice both answers equal 5,778,253
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,778,253 and divide it by 2:
5,778,253 ÷ 2 = 2,889,126.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,889,126.5 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 | 5,778,253 | |
| -1 | -5,778,253 |
Now, we try dividing 5,778,253 by 3:
5,778,253 ÷ 3 = 1,926,084.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,926,084.3333 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 | 5,778,253 | |
| -1 | -5,778,253 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,778,253 ÷ 4 = 1,444,563.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,444,563.25 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 | 5,778,253 | |
| -1 | 5,778,253 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 41 | 293 | 481 | 533 | 1,517 | 3,809 | 10,841 | 12,013 | 19,721 | 140,933 | 156,169 | 444,481 | 5,778,253 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -41 | -293 | -481 | -533 | -1,517 | -3,809 | -10,841 | -12,013 | -19,721 | -140,933 | -156,169 | -444,481 | -5,778,253 |
