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 5,842,405, 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 | 5,842,405 | |
| -1 | -5,842,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,842,405.
Example:
1 x 5,842,405 = 5,842,405
and
-1 x -5,842,405 = 5,842,405
Notice both answers equal 5,842,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,842,405 and divide it by 2:
5,842,405 ÷ 2 = 2,921,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,921,202.5 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 | 5,842,405 | |
| -1 | -5,842,405 |
Now, we try dividing 5,842,405 by 3:
5,842,405 ÷ 3 = 1,947,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,947,468.3333 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 | 5,842,405 | |
| -1 | -5,842,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,842,405 ÷ 4 = 1,460,601.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,460,601.25 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 | 5,842,405 | |
| -1 | 5,842,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 89 | 95 | 445 | 691 | 1,691 | 3,455 | 8,455 | 13,129 | 61,499 | 65,645 | 307,495 | 1,168,481 | 5,842,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -89 | -95 | -445 | -691 | -1,691 | -3,455 | -8,455 | -13,129 | -61,499 | -65,645 | -307,495 | -1,168,481 | -5,842,405 |
