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 5,934,887, 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 | 5,934,887 | |
| -1 | -5,934,887 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,934,887.
Example:
1 x 5,934,887 = 5,934,887
and
-1 x -5,934,887 = 5,934,887
Notice both answers equal 5,934,887
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,934,887 and divide it by 2:
5,934,887 ÷ 2 = 2,967,443.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,967,443.5 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 | 5,934,887 | |
| -1 | -5,934,887 |
Now, we try dividing 5,934,887 by 3:
5,934,887 ÷ 3 = 1,978,295.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,978,295.6667 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 | 5,934,887 | |
| -1 | -5,934,887 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,934,887 ÷ 4 = 1,483,721.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,483,721.75 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 | 5,934,887 | |
| -1 | 5,934,887 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 53 | 119 | 371 | 901 | 941 | 6,307 | 6,587 | 15,997 | 49,873 | 111,979 | 349,111 | 847,841 | 5,934,887 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -53 | -119 | -371 | -901 | -941 | -6,307 | -6,587 | -15,997 | -49,873 | -111,979 | -349,111 | -847,841 | -5,934,887 |
