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 5,779,439, 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 | 5,779,439 | |
| -1 | -5,779,439 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,779,439.
Example:
1 x 5,779,439 = 5,779,439
and
-1 x -5,779,439 = 5,779,439
Notice both answers equal 5,779,439
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,779,439 and divide it by 2:
5,779,439 ÷ 2 = 2,889,719.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,889,719.5 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 | 5,779,439 | |
| -1 | -5,779,439 |
Now, we try dividing 5,779,439 by 3:
5,779,439 ÷ 3 = 1,926,479.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,926,479.6667 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 | 5,779,439 | |
| -1 | -5,779,439 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,779,439 ÷ 4 = 1,444,859.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,444,859.75 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 | 5,779,439 | |
| -1 | 5,779,439 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 323 | 493 | 551 | 617 | 9,367 | 10,489 | 11,723 | 17,893 | 199,291 | 304,181 | 339,967 | 5,779,439 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -323 | -493 | -551 | -617 | -9,367 | -10,489 | -11,723 | -17,893 | -199,291 | -304,181 | -339,967 | -5,779,439 |
