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 5,026,355, 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 | 5,026,355 | |
| -1 | -5,026,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,026,355.
Example:
1 x 5,026,355 = 5,026,355
and
-1 x -5,026,355 = 5,026,355
Notice both answers equal 5,026,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,026,355 and divide it by 2:
5,026,355 ÷ 2 = 2,513,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,513,177.5 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 | 5,026,355 | |
| -1 | -5,026,355 |
Now, we try dividing 5,026,355 by 3:
5,026,355 ÷ 3 = 1,675,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,675,451.6667 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 | 5,026,355 | |
| -1 | -5,026,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,026,355 ÷ 4 = 1,256,588.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,256,588.75 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 | 5,026,355 | |
| -1 | 5,026,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 157 | 337 | 785 | 1,685 | 2,983 | 6,403 | 14,915 | 32,015 | 52,909 | 264,545 | 1,005,271 | 5,026,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -157 | -337 | -785 | -1,685 | -2,983 | -6,403 | -14,915 | -32,015 | -52,909 | -264,545 | -1,005,271 | -5,026,355 |
