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 5,663,255, 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 | 5,663,255 | |
| -1 | -5,663,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,663,255.
Example:
1 x 5,663,255 = 5,663,255
and
-1 x -5,663,255 = 5,663,255
Notice both answers equal 5,663,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,663,255 and divide it by 2:
5,663,255 ÷ 2 = 2,831,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,831,627.5 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 | 5,663,255 | |
| -1 | -5,663,255 |
Now, we try dividing 5,663,255 by 3:
5,663,255 ÷ 3 = 1,887,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,887,751.6667 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 | 5,663,255 | |
| -1 | -5,663,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,663,255 ÷ 4 = 1,415,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,415,813.75 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 | 5,663,255 | |
| -1 | 5,663,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 151 | 577 | 755 | 1,963 | 2,885 | 7,501 | 9,815 | 37,505 | 87,127 | 435,635 | 1,132,651 | 5,663,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -151 | -577 | -755 | -1,963 | -2,885 | -7,501 | -9,815 | -37,505 | -87,127 | -435,635 | -1,132,651 | -5,663,255 |
