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 5,839,097, 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 | 5,839,097 | |
| -1 | -5,839,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,839,097.
Example:
1 x 5,839,097 = 5,839,097
and
-1 x -5,839,097 = 5,839,097
Notice both answers equal 5,839,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,839,097 and divide it by 2:
5,839,097 ÷ 2 = 2,919,548.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,919,548.5 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 | 5,839,097 | |
| -1 | -5,839,097 |
Now, we try dividing 5,839,097 by 3:
5,839,097 ÷ 3 = 1,946,365.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,946,365.6667 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 | 5,839,097 | |
| -1 | -5,839,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,839,097 ÷ 4 = 1,459,774.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,459,774.25 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 | 5,839,097 | |
| -1 | 5,839,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 107 | 121 | 451 | 1,177 | 1,331 | 4,387 | 4,961 | 12,947 | 48,257 | 54,571 | 142,417 | 530,827 | 5,839,097 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -107 | -121 | -451 | -1,177 | -1,331 | -4,387 | -4,961 | -12,947 | -48,257 | -54,571 | -142,417 | -530,827 | -5,839,097 |
