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 5,026,567, 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 | 5,026,567 | |
| -1 | -5,026,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,026,567.
Example:
1 x 5,026,567 = 5,026,567
and
-1 x -5,026,567 = 5,026,567
Notice both answers equal 5,026,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,026,567 and divide it by 2:
5,026,567 ÷ 2 = 2,513,283.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,513,283.5 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 | 5,026,567 | |
| -1 | -5,026,567 |
Now, we try dividing 5,026,567 by 3:
5,026,567 ÷ 3 = 1,675,522.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,675,522.3333 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 | 5,026,567 | |
| -1 | -5,026,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,026,567 ÷ 4 = 1,256,641.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,256,641.75 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 | 5,026,567 | |
| -1 | 5,026,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 169 | 607 | 637 | 1,183 | 4,249 | 7,891 | 8,281 | 29,743 | 55,237 | 102,583 | 386,659 | 718,081 | 5,026,567 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -169 | -607 | -637 | -1,183 | -4,249 | -7,891 | -8,281 | -29,743 | -55,237 | -102,583 | -386,659 | -718,081 | -5,026,567 |
