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 5,888,035, 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 | 5,888,035 | |
| -1 | -5,888,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,888,035.
Example:
1 x 5,888,035 = 5,888,035
and
-1 x -5,888,035 = 5,888,035
Notice both answers equal 5,888,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,888,035 and divide it by 2:
5,888,035 ÷ 2 = 2,944,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,944,017.5 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 | 5,888,035 | |
| -1 | -5,888,035 |
Now, we try dividing 5,888,035 by 3:
5,888,035 ÷ 3 = 1,962,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,962,678.3333 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 | 5,888,035 | |
| -1 | -5,888,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,888,035 ÷ 4 = 1,472,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,472,008.75 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 | 5,888,035 | |
| -1 | 5,888,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 53 | 85 | 265 | 901 | 1,307 | 4,505 | 6,535 | 22,219 | 69,271 | 111,095 | 346,355 | 1,177,607 | 5,888,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -53 | -85 | -265 | -901 | -1,307 | -4,505 | -6,535 | -22,219 | -69,271 | -111,095 | -346,355 | -1,177,607 | -5,888,035 |
