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 5,865,545, 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 | 5,865,545 | |
| -1 | -5,865,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,865,545.
Example:
1 x 5,865,545 = 5,865,545
and
-1 x -5,865,545 = 5,865,545
Notice both answers equal 5,865,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,865,545 and divide it by 2:
5,865,545 ÷ 2 = 2,932,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,932,772.5 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 | 5,865,545 | |
| -1 | -5,865,545 |
Now, we try dividing 5,865,545 by 3:
5,865,545 ÷ 3 = 1,955,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,955,181.6667 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 | 5,865,545 | |
| -1 | -5,865,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,865,545 ÷ 4 = 1,466,386.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,466,386.25 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 | 5,865,545 | |
| -1 | 5,865,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 89 | 245 | 269 | 445 | 623 | 1,345 | 1,883 | 3,115 | 4,361 | 9,415 | 13,181 | 21,805 | 23,941 | 65,905 | 119,705 | 167,587 | 837,935 | 1,173,109 | 5,865,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -89 | -245 | -269 | -445 | -623 | -1,345 | -1,883 | -3,115 | -4,361 | -9,415 | -13,181 | -21,805 | -23,941 | -65,905 | -119,705 | -167,587 | -837,935 | -1,173,109 | -5,865,545 |
