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 5,030,575, 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 | 5,030,575 | |
| -1 | -5,030,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,030,575.
Example:
1 x 5,030,575 = 5,030,575
and
-1 x -5,030,575 = 5,030,575
Notice both answers equal 5,030,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,030,575 and divide it by 2:
5,030,575 ÷ 2 = 2,515,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,515,287.5 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 | 5,030,575 | |
| -1 | -5,030,575 |
Now, we try dividing 5,030,575 by 3:
5,030,575 ÷ 3 = 1,676,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,676,858.3333 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 | 5,030,575 | |
| -1 | -5,030,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,030,575 ÷ 4 = 1,257,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,257,643.75 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 | 5,030,575 | |
| -1 | 5,030,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 275 | 605 | 1,663 | 3,025 | 8,315 | 18,293 | 41,575 | 91,465 | 201,223 | 457,325 | 1,006,115 | 5,030,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -275 | -605 | -1,663 | -3,025 | -8,315 | -18,293 | -41,575 | -91,465 | -201,223 | -457,325 | -1,006,115 | -5,030,575 |
