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 5,844,839, 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 | 5,844,839 | |
| -1 | -5,844,839 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,844,839.
Example:
1 x 5,844,839 = 5,844,839
and
-1 x -5,844,839 = 5,844,839
Notice both answers equal 5,844,839
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,844,839 and divide it by 2:
5,844,839 ÷ 2 = 2,922,419.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,922,419.5 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 | 5,844,839 | |
| -1 | -5,844,839 |
Now, we try dividing 5,844,839 by 3:
5,844,839 ÷ 3 = 1,948,279.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,948,279.6667 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 | 5,844,839 | |
| -1 | -5,844,839 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,844,839 ÷ 4 = 1,461,209.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,461,209.75 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 | 5,844,839 | |
| -1 | 5,844,839 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 5,839 | 40,873 | 64,229 | 75,907 | 449,603 | 531,349 | 834,977 | 5,844,839 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -5,839 | -40,873 | -64,229 | -75,907 | -449,603 | -531,349 | -834,977 | -5,844,839 |
