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 5,024,965, 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 | 5,024,965 | |
| -1 | -5,024,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,024,965.
Example:
1 x 5,024,965 = 5,024,965
and
-1 x -5,024,965 = 5,024,965
Notice both answers equal 5,024,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,024,965 and divide it by 2:
5,024,965 ÷ 2 = 2,512,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,512,482.5 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 | 5,024,965 | |
| -1 | -5,024,965 |
Now, we try dividing 5,024,965 by 3:
5,024,965 ÷ 3 = 1,674,988.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,674,988.3333 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 | 5,024,965 | |
| -1 | -5,024,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,024,965 ÷ 4 = 1,256,241.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,256,241.25 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 | 5,024,965 | |
| -1 | 5,024,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 211 | 433 | 1,055 | 2,165 | 2,321 | 4,763 | 11,605 | 23,815 | 91,363 | 456,815 | 1,004,993 | 5,024,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -211 | -433 | -1,055 | -2,165 | -2,321 | -4,763 | -11,605 | -23,815 | -91,363 | -456,815 | -1,004,993 | -5,024,965 |
