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 5,012,665, 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 | 5,012,665 | |
| -1 | -5,012,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,012,665.
Example:
1 x 5,012,665 = 5,012,665
and
-1 x -5,012,665 = 5,012,665
Notice both answers equal 5,012,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,012,665 and divide it by 2:
5,012,665 ÷ 2 = 2,506,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,506,332.5 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 | 5,012,665 | |
| -1 | -5,012,665 |
Now, we try dividing 5,012,665 by 3:
5,012,665 ÷ 3 = 1,670,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,670,888.3333 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 | 5,012,665 | |
| -1 | -5,012,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,012,665 ÷ 4 = 1,253,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,253,166.25 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 | 5,012,665 | |
| -1 | 5,012,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 197 | 727 | 985 | 1,379 | 3,635 | 5,089 | 6,895 | 25,445 | 143,219 | 716,095 | 1,002,533 | 5,012,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -197 | -727 | -985 | -1,379 | -3,635 | -5,089 | -6,895 | -25,445 | -143,219 | -716,095 | -1,002,533 | -5,012,665 |
