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 5,034,875, 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 | 5,034,875 | |
| -1 | -5,034,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,034,875.
Example:
1 x 5,034,875 = 5,034,875
and
-1 x -5,034,875 = 5,034,875
Notice both answers equal 5,034,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,034,875 and divide it by 2:
5,034,875 ÷ 2 = 2,517,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,517,437.5 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 | 5,034,875 | |
| -1 | -5,034,875 |
Now, we try dividing 5,034,875 by 3:
5,034,875 ÷ 3 = 1,678,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,678,291.6667 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 | 5,034,875 | |
| -1 | -5,034,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,034,875 ÷ 4 = 1,258,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,258,718.75 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 | 5,034,875 | |
| -1 | 5,034,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 47 | 125 | 235 | 857 | 1,175 | 4,285 | 5,875 | 21,425 | 40,279 | 107,125 | 201,395 | 1,006,975 | 5,034,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -47 | -125 | -235 | -857 | -1,175 | -4,285 | -5,875 | -21,425 | -40,279 | -107,125 | -201,395 | -1,006,975 | -5,034,875 |
