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 5,862,395, 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 | 5,862,395 | |
| -1 | -5,862,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,862,395.
Example:
1 x 5,862,395 = 5,862,395
and
-1 x -5,862,395 = 5,862,395
Notice both answers equal 5,862,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,862,395 and divide it by 2:
5,862,395 ÷ 2 = 2,931,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,931,197.5 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 | 5,862,395 | |
| -1 | -5,862,395 |
Now, we try dividing 5,862,395 by 3:
5,862,395 ÷ 3 = 1,954,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,954,131.6667 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 | 5,862,395 | |
| -1 | -5,862,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,862,395 ÷ 4 = 1,465,598.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,465,598.75 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 | 5,862,395 | |
| -1 | 5,862,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 15,227 | 76,135 | 106,589 | 167,497 | 532,945 | 837,485 | 1,172,479 | 5,862,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -15,227 | -76,135 | -106,589 | -167,497 | -532,945 | -837,485 | -1,172,479 | -5,862,395 |
