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 5,943,155, 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 | 5,943,155 | |
| -1 | -5,943,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,943,155.
Example:
1 x 5,943,155 = 5,943,155
and
-1 x -5,943,155 = 5,943,155
Notice both answers equal 5,943,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,943,155 and divide it by 2:
5,943,155 ÷ 2 = 2,971,577.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,971,577.5 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 | 5,943,155 | |
| -1 | -5,943,155 |
Now, we try dividing 5,943,155 by 3:
5,943,155 ÷ 3 = 1,981,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,981,051.6667 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 | 5,943,155 | |
| -1 | -5,943,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,943,155 ÷ 4 = 1,485,788.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,485,788.75 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 | 5,943,155 | |
| -1 | 5,943,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 53 | 205 | 265 | 547 | 2,173 | 2,735 | 10,865 | 22,427 | 28,991 | 112,135 | 144,955 | 1,188,631 | 5,943,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -53 | -205 | -265 | -547 | -2,173 | -2,735 | -10,865 | -22,427 | -28,991 | -112,135 | -144,955 | -1,188,631 | -5,943,155 |
