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 5,880,049, 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 | 5,880,049 | |
| -1 | -5,880,049 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,880,049.
Example:
1 x 5,880,049 = 5,880,049
and
-1 x -5,880,049 = 5,880,049
Notice both answers equal 5,880,049
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,880,049 and divide it by 2:
5,880,049 ÷ 2 = 2,940,024.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,940,024.5 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 | 5,880,049 | |
| -1 | -5,880,049 |
Now, we try dividing 5,880,049 by 3:
5,880,049 ÷ 3 = 1,960,016.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,960,016.3333 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 | 5,880,049 | |
| -1 | -5,880,049 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,880,049 ÷ 4 = 1,470,012.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,470,012.25 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 | 5,880,049 | |
| -1 | 5,880,049 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 49 | 79 | 217 | 343 | 553 | 1,519 | 2,401 | 2,449 | 3,871 | 10,633 | 17,143 | 27,097 | 74,431 | 120,001 | 189,679 | 840,007 | 5,880,049 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -49 | -79 | -217 | -343 | -553 | -1,519 | -2,401 | -2,449 | -3,871 | -10,633 | -17,143 | -27,097 | -74,431 | -120,001 | -189,679 | -840,007 | -5,880,049 |
