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 5,006,435, 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 | 5,006,435 | |
| -1 | -5,006,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,006,435.
Example:
1 x 5,006,435 = 5,006,435
and
-1 x -5,006,435 = 5,006,435
Notice both answers equal 5,006,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,006,435 and divide it by 2:
5,006,435 ÷ 2 = 2,503,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,503,217.5 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 | 5,006,435 | |
| -1 | -5,006,435 |
Now, we try dividing 5,006,435 by 3:
5,006,435 ÷ 3 = 1,668,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,668,811.6667 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 | 5,006,435 | |
| -1 | -5,006,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,006,435 ÷ 4 = 1,251,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,251,608.75 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 | 5,006,435 | |
| -1 | 5,006,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 313 | 457 | 1,565 | 2,191 | 2,285 | 3,199 | 10,955 | 15,995 | 143,041 | 715,205 | 1,001,287 | 5,006,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -313 | -457 | -1,565 | -2,191 | -2,285 | -3,199 | -10,955 | -15,995 | -143,041 | -715,205 | -1,001,287 | -5,006,435 |
