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 5,840,219, 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 | 5,840,219 | |
| -1 | -5,840,219 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,840,219.
Example:
1 x 5,840,219 = 5,840,219
and
-1 x -5,840,219 = 5,840,219
Notice both answers equal 5,840,219
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,840,219 and divide it by 2:
5,840,219 ÷ 2 = 2,920,109.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,920,109.5 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 | 5,840,219 | |
| -1 | -5,840,219 |
Now, we try dividing 5,840,219 by 3:
5,840,219 ÷ 3 = 1,946,739.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,946,739.6667 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 | 5,840,219 | |
| -1 | -5,840,219 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,840,219 ÷ 4 = 1,460,054.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,460,054.75 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 | 5,840,219 | |
| -1 | 5,840,219 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 73 | 77 | 511 | 803 | 1,039 | 5,621 | 7,273 | 11,429 | 75,847 | 80,003 | 530,929 | 834,317 | 5,840,219 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -73 | -77 | -511 | -803 | -1,039 | -5,621 | -7,273 | -11,429 | -75,847 | -80,003 | -530,929 | -834,317 | -5,840,219 |
