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 5,032,555, 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 | 5,032,555 | |
| -1 | -5,032,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,032,555.
Example:
1 x 5,032,555 = 5,032,555
and
-1 x -5,032,555 = 5,032,555
Notice both answers equal 5,032,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,032,555 and divide it by 2:
5,032,555 ÷ 2 = 2,516,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,516,277.5 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 | 5,032,555 | |
| -1 | -5,032,555 |
Now, we try dividing 5,032,555 by 3:
5,032,555 ÷ 3 = 1,677,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,677,518.3333 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 | 5,032,555 | |
| -1 | -5,032,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,032,555 ÷ 4 = 1,258,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,258,138.75 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 | 5,032,555 | |
| -1 | 5,032,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 37 | 55 | 185 | 407 | 2,035 | 2,473 | 12,365 | 27,203 | 91,501 | 136,015 | 457,505 | 1,006,511 | 5,032,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -37 | -55 | -185 | -407 | -2,035 | -2,473 | -12,365 | -27,203 | -91,501 | -136,015 | -457,505 | -1,006,511 | -5,032,555 |
