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 5,809,435, 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 | 5,809,435 | |
| -1 | -5,809,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,809,435.
Example:
1 x 5,809,435 = 5,809,435
and
-1 x -5,809,435 = 5,809,435
Notice both answers equal 5,809,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,809,435 and divide it by 2:
5,809,435 ÷ 2 = 2,904,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,904,717.5 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 | 5,809,435 | |
| -1 | -5,809,435 |
Now, we try dividing 5,809,435 by 3:
5,809,435 ÷ 3 = 1,936,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,936,478.3333 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 | 5,809,435 | |
| -1 | -5,809,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,809,435 ÷ 4 = 1,452,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,452,358.75 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 | 5,809,435 | |
| -1 | 5,809,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 59 | 235 | 295 | 419 | 2,095 | 2,773 | 13,865 | 19,693 | 24,721 | 98,465 | 123,605 | 1,161,887 | 5,809,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -59 | -235 | -295 | -419 | -2,095 | -2,773 | -13,865 | -19,693 | -24,721 | -98,465 | -123,605 | -1,161,887 | -5,809,435 |
