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 5,016,053, 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 | 5,016,053 | |
| -1 | -5,016,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,016,053.
Example:
1 x 5,016,053 = 5,016,053
and
-1 x -5,016,053 = 5,016,053
Notice both answers equal 5,016,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,016,053 and divide it by 2:
5,016,053 ÷ 2 = 2,508,026.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,508,026.5 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 | 5,016,053 | |
| -1 | -5,016,053 |
Now, we try dividing 5,016,053 by 3:
5,016,053 ÷ 3 = 1,672,017.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,672,017.6667 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 | 5,016,053 | |
| -1 | -5,016,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,016,053 ÷ 4 = 1,254,013.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,254,013.25 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 | 5,016,053 | |
| -1 | 5,016,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 107 | 181 | 259 | 749 | 1,267 | 3,959 | 6,697 | 19,367 | 27,713 | 46,879 | 135,569 | 716,579 | 5,016,053 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -107 | -181 | -259 | -749 | -1,267 | -3,959 | -6,697 | -19,367 | -27,713 | -46,879 | -135,569 | -716,579 | -5,016,053 |
