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 5,852,623, 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 | 5,852,623 | |
| -1 | -5,852,623 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,852,623.
Example:
1 x 5,852,623 = 5,852,623
and
-1 x -5,852,623 = 5,852,623
Notice both answers equal 5,852,623
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,852,623 and divide it by 2:
5,852,623 ÷ 2 = 2,926,311.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,926,311.5 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 | 5,852,623 | |
| -1 | -5,852,623 |
Now, we try dividing 5,852,623 by 3:
5,852,623 ÷ 3 = 1,950,874.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,950,874.3333 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 | 5,852,623 | |
| -1 | -5,852,623 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,852,623 ÷ 4 = 1,463,155.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,463,155.75 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 | 5,852,623 | |
| -1 | 5,852,623 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 59 | 259 | 383 | 413 | 2,183 | 2,681 | 14,171 | 15,281 | 22,597 | 99,197 | 158,179 | 836,089 | 5,852,623 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -59 | -259 | -383 | -413 | -2,183 | -2,681 | -14,171 | -15,281 | -22,597 | -99,197 | -158,179 | -836,089 | -5,852,623 |
