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 5,027,005, 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 | 5,027,005 | |
| -1 | -5,027,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,027,005.
Example:
1 x 5,027,005 = 5,027,005
and
-1 x -5,027,005 = 5,027,005
Notice both answers equal 5,027,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,027,005 and divide it by 2:
5,027,005 ÷ 2 = 2,513,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,513,502.5 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 | 5,027,005 | |
| -1 | -5,027,005 |
Now, we try dividing 5,027,005 by 3:
5,027,005 ÷ 3 = 1,675,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,675,668.3333 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 | 5,027,005 | |
| -1 | -5,027,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,027,005 ÷ 4 = 1,256,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,256,751.25 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 | 5,027,005 | |
| -1 | 5,027,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 37 | 145 | 185 | 937 | 1,073 | 4,685 | 5,365 | 27,173 | 34,669 | 135,865 | 173,345 | 1,005,401 | 5,027,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -37 | -145 | -185 | -937 | -1,073 | -4,685 | -5,365 | -27,173 | -34,669 | -135,865 | -173,345 | -1,005,401 | -5,027,005 |
