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 5,882,227, 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 | 5,882,227 | |
| -1 | -5,882,227 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,882,227.
Example:
1 x 5,882,227 = 5,882,227
and
-1 x -5,882,227 = 5,882,227
Notice both answers equal 5,882,227
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,882,227 and divide it by 2:
5,882,227 ÷ 2 = 2,941,113.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,941,113.5 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 | 5,882,227 | |
| -1 | -5,882,227 |
Now, we try dividing 5,882,227 by 3:
5,882,227 ÷ 3 = 1,960,742.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,960,742.3333 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 | 5,882,227 | |
| -1 | -5,882,227 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,882,227 ÷ 4 = 1,470,556.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,470,556.75 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 | 5,882,227 | |
| -1 | 5,882,227 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 103 | 191 | 299 | 1,339 | 2,369 | 2,483 | 4,393 | 19,673 | 30,797 | 57,109 | 255,749 | 452,479 | 5,882,227 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -103 | -191 | -299 | -1,339 | -2,369 | -2,483 | -4,393 | -19,673 | -30,797 | -57,109 | -255,749 | -452,479 | -5,882,227 |
