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 5,967,787, 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 | 5,967,787 | |
| -1 | -5,967,787 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,967,787.
Example:
1 x 5,967,787 = 5,967,787
and
-1 x -5,967,787 = 5,967,787
Notice both answers equal 5,967,787
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,967,787 and divide it by 2:
5,967,787 ÷ 2 = 2,983,893.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,983,893.5 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 | 5,967,787 | |
| -1 | -5,967,787 |
Now, we try dividing 5,967,787 by 3:
5,967,787 ÷ 3 = 1,989,262.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,989,262.3333 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 | 5,967,787 | |
| -1 | -5,967,787 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,967,787 ÷ 4 = 1,491,946.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,491,946.75 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 | 5,967,787 | |
| -1 | 5,967,787 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 101 | 161 | 367 | 707 | 2,323 | 2,569 | 8,441 | 16,261 | 37,067 | 59,087 | 259,469 | 852,541 | 5,967,787 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -101 | -161 | -367 | -707 | -2,323 | -2,569 | -8,441 | -16,261 | -37,067 | -59,087 | -259,469 | -852,541 | -5,967,787 |
