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 5,941,397, 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 | 5,941,397 | |
| -1 | -5,941,397 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,941,397.
Example:
1 x 5,941,397 = 5,941,397
and
-1 x -5,941,397 = 5,941,397
Notice both answers equal 5,941,397
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,941,397 and divide it by 2:
5,941,397 ÷ 2 = 2,970,698.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,970,698.5 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 | 5,941,397 | |
| -1 | -5,941,397 |
Now, we try dividing 5,941,397 by 3:
5,941,397 ÷ 3 = 1,980,465.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,980,465.6667 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 | 5,941,397 | |
| -1 | -5,941,397 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,941,397 ÷ 4 = 1,485,349.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,485,349.25 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 | 5,941,397 | |
| -1 | 5,941,397 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 73 | 77 | 151 | 511 | 539 | 803 | 1,057 | 1,661 | 3,577 | 5,621 | 7,399 | 11,023 | 11,627 | 39,347 | 77,161 | 81,389 | 121,253 | 540,127 | 848,771 | 5,941,397 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -73 | -77 | -151 | -511 | -539 | -803 | -1,057 | -1,661 | -3,577 | -5,621 | -7,399 | -11,023 | -11,627 | -39,347 | -77,161 | -81,389 | -121,253 | -540,127 | -848,771 | -5,941,397 |
