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 5,836,789, 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 | 5,836,789 | |
| -1 | -5,836,789 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,836,789.
Example:
1 x 5,836,789 = 5,836,789
and
-1 x -5,836,789 = 5,836,789
Notice both answers equal 5,836,789
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,836,789 and divide it by 2:
5,836,789 ÷ 2 = 2,918,394.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,918,394.5 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 | 5,836,789 | |
| -1 | -5,836,789 |
Now, we try dividing 5,836,789 by 3:
5,836,789 ÷ 3 = 1,945,596.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,945,596.3333 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 | 5,836,789 | |
| -1 | -5,836,789 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,836,789 ÷ 4 = 1,459,197.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,459,197.25 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 | 5,836,789 | |
| -1 | 5,836,789 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 113 | 157 | 329 | 791 | 1,099 | 5,311 | 7,379 | 17,741 | 37,177 | 51,653 | 124,187 | 833,827 | 5,836,789 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -113 | -157 | -329 | -791 | -1,099 | -5,311 | -7,379 | -17,741 | -37,177 | -51,653 | -124,187 | -833,827 | -5,836,789 |
