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 5,852,105, 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 | 5,852,105 | |
| -1 | -5,852,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,852,105.
Example:
1 x 5,852,105 = 5,852,105
and
-1 x -5,852,105 = 5,852,105
Notice both answers equal 5,852,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,852,105 and divide it by 2:
5,852,105 ÷ 2 = 2,926,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,926,052.5 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 | 5,852,105 | |
| -1 | -5,852,105 |
Now, we try dividing 5,852,105 by 3:
5,852,105 ÷ 3 = 1,950,701.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,950,701.6667 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 | 5,852,105 | |
| -1 | -5,852,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,852,105 ÷ 4 = 1,463,026.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,463,026.25 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 | 5,852,105 | |
| -1 | 5,852,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 4,519 | 22,595 | 31,633 | 158,165 | 167,203 | 836,015 | 1,170,421 | 5,852,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -4,519 | -22,595 | -31,633 | -158,165 | -167,203 | -836,015 | -1,170,421 | -5,852,105 |
