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 5,844,185, 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 | 5,844,185 | |
| -1 | -5,844,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,844,185.
Example:
1 x 5,844,185 = 5,844,185
and
-1 x -5,844,185 = 5,844,185
Notice both answers equal 5,844,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,844,185 and divide it by 2:
5,844,185 ÷ 2 = 2,922,092.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,922,092.5 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 | 5,844,185 | |
| -1 | -5,844,185 |
Now, we try dividing 5,844,185 by 3:
5,844,185 ÷ 3 = 1,948,061.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,948,061.6667 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 | 5,844,185 | |
| -1 | -5,844,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,844,185 ÷ 4 = 1,461,046.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,461,046.25 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 | 5,844,185 | |
| -1 | 5,844,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 89 | 115 | 445 | 571 | 2,047 | 2,855 | 10,235 | 13,133 | 50,819 | 65,665 | 254,095 | 1,168,837 | 5,844,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -89 | -115 | -445 | -571 | -2,047 | -2,855 | -10,235 | -13,133 | -50,819 | -65,665 | -254,095 | -1,168,837 | -5,844,185 |
