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 5,980,711, 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 | 5,980,711 | |
| -1 | -5,980,711 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,980,711.
Example:
1 x 5,980,711 = 5,980,711
and
-1 x -5,980,711 = 5,980,711
Notice both answers equal 5,980,711
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,980,711 and divide it by 2:
5,980,711 ÷ 2 = 2,990,355.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,990,355.5 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 | 5,980,711 | |
| -1 | -5,980,711 |
Now, we try dividing 5,980,711 by 3:
5,980,711 ÷ 3 = 1,993,570.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,993,570.3333 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 | 5,980,711 | |
| -1 | -5,980,711 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,980,711 ÷ 4 = 1,495,177.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,495,177.75 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 | 5,980,711 | |
| -1 | 5,980,711 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 89 | 149 | 451 | 979 | 1,639 | 3,649 | 6,109 | 13,261 | 40,139 | 67,199 | 145,871 | 543,701 | 5,980,711 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -89 | -149 | -451 | -979 | -1,639 | -3,649 | -6,109 | -13,261 | -40,139 | -67,199 | -145,871 | -543,701 | -5,980,711 |
