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 5,015,219, 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 | 5,015,219 | |
| -1 | -5,015,219 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,015,219.
Example:
1 x 5,015,219 = 5,015,219
and
-1 x -5,015,219 = 5,015,219
Notice both answers equal 5,015,219
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,015,219 and divide it by 2:
5,015,219 ÷ 2 = 2,507,609.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,507,609.5 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 | 5,015,219 | |
| -1 | -5,015,219 |
Now, we try dividing 5,015,219 by 3:
5,015,219 ÷ 3 = 1,671,739.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,671,739.6667 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 | 5,015,219 | |
| -1 | -5,015,219 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,015,219 ÷ 4 = 1,253,804.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,253,804.75 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 | 5,015,219 | |
| -1 | 5,015,219 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 43 | 253 | 461 | 473 | 989 | 5,071 | 10,603 | 10,879 | 19,823 | 116,633 | 218,053 | 455,929 | 5,015,219 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -43 | -253 | -461 | -473 | -989 | -5,071 | -10,603 | -10,879 | -19,823 | -116,633 | -218,053 | -455,929 | -5,015,219 |
