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 5,913,365, 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 | 5,913,365 | |
| -1 | -5,913,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,913,365.
Example:
1 x 5,913,365 = 5,913,365
and
-1 x -5,913,365 = 5,913,365
Notice both answers equal 5,913,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,913,365 and divide it by 2:
5,913,365 ÷ 2 = 2,956,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,956,682.5 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 | 5,913,365 | |
| -1 | -5,913,365 |
Now, we try dividing 5,913,365 by 3:
5,913,365 ÷ 3 = 1,971,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,971,121.6667 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 | 5,913,365 | |
| -1 | -5,913,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,913,365 ÷ 4 = 1,478,341.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,478,341.25 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 | 5,913,365 | |
| -1 | 5,913,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 73 | 85 | 365 | 953 | 1,241 | 4,765 | 6,205 | 16,201 | 69,569 | 81,005 | 347,845 | 1,182,673 | 5,913,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -73 | -85 | -365 | -953 | -1,241 | -4,765 | -6,205 | -16,201 | -69,569 | -81,005 | -347,845 | -1,182,673 | -5,913,365 |
