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 5,943,413, 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 | 5,943,413 | |
| -1 | -5,943,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,943,413.
Example:
1 x 5,943,413 = 5,943,413
and
-1 x -5,943,413 = 5,943,413
Notice both answers equal 5,943,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,943,413 and divide it by 2:
5,943,413 ÷ 2 = 2,971,706.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,971,706.5 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 | 5,943,413 | |
| -1 | -5,943,413 |
Now, we try dividing 5,943,413 by 3:
5,943,413 ÷ 3 = 1,981,137.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,981,137.6667 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 | 5,943,413 | |
| -1 | -5,943,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,943,413 ÷ 4 = 1,485,853.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,485,853.25 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 | 5,943,413 | |
| -1 | 5,943,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 61 | 217 | 427 | 449 | 1,891 | 3,143 | 13,237 | 13,919 | 27,389 | 97,433 | 191,723 | 849,059 | 5,943,413 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -61 | -217 | -427 | -449 | -1,891 | -3,143 | -13,237 | -13,919 | -27,389 | -97,433 | -191,723 | -849,059 | -5,943,413 |
