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 5,032,853, 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 | 5,032,853 | |
| -1 | -5,032,853 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,032,853.
Example:
1 x 5,032,853 = 5,032,853
and
-1 x -5,032,853 = 5,032,853
Notice both answers equal 5,032,853
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,032,853 and divide it by 2:
5,032,853 ÷ 2 = 2,516,426.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,516,426.5 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 | 5,032,853 | |
| -1 | -5,032,853 |
Now, we try dividing 5,032,853 by 3:
5,032,853 ÷ 3 = 1,677,617.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,677,617.6667 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 | 5,032,853 | |
| -1 | -5,032,853 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,032,853 ÷ 4 = 1,258,213.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,258,213.25 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 | 5,032,853 | |
| -1 | 5,032,853 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 79 | 133 | 479 | 553 | 1,501 | 3,353 | 9,101 | 10,507 | 37,841 | 63,707 | 264,887 | 718,979 | 5,032,853 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -79 | -133 | -479 | -553 | -1,501 | -3,353 | -9,101 | -10,507 | -37,841 | -63,707 | -264,887 | -718,979 | -5,032,853 |
