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 5,030,399, 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 | 5,030,399 | |
| -1 | -5,030,399 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,030,399.
Example:
1 x 5,030,399 = 5,030,399
and
-1 x -5,030,399 = 5,030,399
Notice both answers equal 5,030,399
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,030,399 and divide it by 2:
5,030,399 ÷ 2 = 2,515,199.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,515,199.5 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 | 5,030,399 | |
| -1 | -5,030,399 |
Now, we try dividing 5,030,399 by 3:
5,030,399 ÷ 3 = 1,676,799.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,676,799.6667 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 | 5,030,399 | |
| -1 | -5,030,399 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,030,399 ÷ 4 = 1,257,599.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,257,599.75 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 | 5,030,399 | |
| -1 | 5,030,399 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 59 | 253 | 337 | 649 | 1,357 | 3,707 | 7,751 | 14,927 | 19,883 | 85,261 | 218,713 | 457,309 | 5,030,399 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -59 | -253 | -337 | -649 | -1,357 | -3,707 | -7,751 | -14,927 | -19,883 | -85,261 | -218,713 | -457,309 | -5,030,399 |
