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 5,978,005, 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 | 5,978,005 | |
| -1 | -5,978,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,978,005.
Example:
1 x 5,978,005 = 5,978,005
and
-1 x -5,978,005 = 5,978,005
Notice both answers equal 5,978,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,978,005 and divide it by 2:
5,978,005 ÷ 2 = 2,989,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,989,002.5 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 | 5,978,005 | |
| -1 | -5,978,005 |
Now, we try dividing 5,978,005 by 3:
5,978,005 ÷ 3 = 1,992,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,992,668.3333 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 | 5,978,005 | |
| -1 | -5,978,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,978,005 ÷ 4 = 1,494,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,494,501.25 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 | 5,978,005 | |
| -1 | 5,978,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 121 | 205 | 241 | 451 | 605 | 1,205 | 2,255 | 2,651 | 4,961 | 9,881 | 13,255 | 24,805 | 29,161 | 49,405 | 108,691 | 145,805 | 543,455 | 1,195,601 | 5,978,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -121 | -205 | -241 | -451 | -605 | -1,205 | -2,255 | -2,651 | -4,961 | -9,881 | -13,255 | -24,805 | -29,161 | -49,405 | -108,691 | -145,805 | -543,455 | -1,195,601 | -5,978,005 |
