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 5,007,469, 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 | 5,007,469 | |
| -1 | -5,007,469 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,007,469.
Example:
1 x 5,007,469 = 5,007,469
and
-1 x -5,007,469 = 5,007,469
Notice both answers equal 5,007,469
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,007,469 and divide it by 2:
5,007,469 ÷ 2 = 2,503,734.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,503,734.5 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 | 5,007,469 | |
| -1 | -5,007,469 |
Now, we try dividing 5,007,469 by 3:
5,007,469 ÷ 3 = 1,669,156.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,669,156.3333 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 | 5,007,469 | |
| -1 | -5,007,469 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,007,469 ÷ 4 = 1,251,867.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,251,867.25 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 | 5,007,469 | |
| -1 | 5,007,469 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 37 | 323 | 419 | 629 | 703 | 7,123 | 7,961 | 11,951 | 15,503 | 135,337 | 263,551 | 294,557 | 5,007,469 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -37 | -323 | -419 | -629 | -703 | -7,123 | -7,961 | -11,951 | -15,503 | -135,337 | -263,551 | -294,557 | -5,007,469 |
