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 5,829,173, 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 | 5,829,173 | |
| -1 | -5,829,173 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,829,173.
Example:
1 x 5,829,173 = 5,829,173
and
-1 x -5,829,173 = 5,829,173
Notice both answers equal 5,829,173
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,829,173 and divide it by 2:
5,829,173 ÷ 2 = 2,914,586.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,914,586.5 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 | 5,829,173 | |
| -1 | -5,829,173 |
Now, we try dividing 5,829,173 by 3:
5,829,173 ÷ 3 = 1,943,057.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,943,057.6667 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 | 5,829,173 | |
| -1 | -5,829,173 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,829,173 ÷ 4 = 1,457,293.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,457,293.25 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 | 5,829,173 | |
| -1 | 5,829,173 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 79 | 83 | 127 | 553 | 581 | 889 | 6,557 | 10,033 | 10,541 | 45,899 | 70,231 | 73,787 | 832,739 | 5,829,173 |
| -1 | -7 | -79 | -83 | -127 | -553 | -581 | -889 | -6,557 | -10,033 | -10,541 | -45,899 | -70,231 | -73,787 | -832,739 | -5,829,173 |
