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 5,950,469, 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 | 5,950,469 | |
| -1 | -5,950,469 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,950,469.
Example:
1 x 5,950,469 = 5,950,469
and
-1 x -5,950,469 = 5,950,469
Notice both answers equal 5,950,469
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,950,469 and divide it by 2:
5,950,469 ÷ 2 = 2,975,234.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,975,234.5 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 | 5,950,469 | |
| -1 | -5,950,469 |
Now, we try dividing 5,950,469 by 3:
5,950,469 ÷ 3 = 1,983,489.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,983,489.6667 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 | 5,950,469 | |
| -1 | -5,950,469 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,950,469 ÷ 4 = 1,487,617.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,487,617.25 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 | 5,950,469 | |
| -1 | 5,950,469 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 53 | 301 | 371 | 373 | 2,279 | 2,611 | 15,953 | 16,039 | 19,769 | 112,273 | 138,383 | 850,067 | 5,950,469 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -53 | -301 | -371 | -373 | -2,279 | -2,611 | -15,953 | -16,039 | -19,769 | -112,273 | -138,383 | -850,067 | -5,950,469 |
