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 5,934,745, 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 | 5,934,745 | |
| -1 | -5,934,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,934,745.
Example:
1 x 5,934,745 = 5,934,745
and
-1 x -5,934,745 = 5,934,745
Notice both answers equal 5,934,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,934,745 and divide it by 2:
5,934,745 ÷ 2 = 2,967,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,967,372.5 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 | 5,934,745 | |
| -1 | -5,934,745 |
Now, we try dividing 5,934,745 by 3:
5,934,745 ÷ 3 = 1,978,248.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,978,248.3333 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 | 5,934,745 | |
| -1 | -5,934,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,934,745 ÷ 4 = 1,483,686.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,483,686.25 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 | 5,934,745 | |
| -1 | 5,934,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 179 | 349 | 895 | 1,745 | 3,401 | 6,631 | 17,005 | 33,155 | 62,471 | 312,355 | 1,186,949 | 5,934,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -179 | -349 | -895 | -1,745 | -3,401 | -6,631 | -17,005 | -33,155 | -62,471 | -312,355 | -1,186,949 | -5,934,745 |
