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 5,869,591, 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 | 5,869,591 | |
| -1 | -5,869,591 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,869,591.
Example:
1 x 5,869,591 = 5,869,591
and
-1 x -5,869,591 = 5,869,591
Notice both answers equal 5,869,591
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,869,591 and divide it by 2:
5,869,591 ÷ 2 = 2,934,795.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,934,795.5 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 | 5,869,591 | |
| -1 | -5,869,591 |
Now, we try dividing 5,869,591 by 3:
5,869,591 ÷ 3 = 1,956,530.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,956,530.3333 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 | 5,869,591 | |
| -1 | -5,869,591 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,869,591 ÷ 4 = 1,467,397.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,467,397.75 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 | 5,869,591 | |
| -1 | 5,869,591 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 53 | 91 | 371 | 689 | 1,217 | 4,823 | 8,519 | 15,821 | 64,501 | 110,747 | 451,507 | 838,513 | 5,869,591 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -53 | -91 | -371 | -689 | -1,217 | -4,823 | -8,519 | -15,821 | -64,501 | -110,747 | -451,507 | -838,513 | -5,869,591 |
