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 5,035,145, 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 | 5,035,145 | |
| -1 | -5,035,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,035,145.
Example:
1 x 5,035,145 = 5,035,145
and
-1 x -5,035,145 = 5,035,145
Notice both answers equal 5,035,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,035,145 and divide it by 2:
5,035,145 ÷ 2 = 2,517,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,517,572.5 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 | 5,035,145 | |
| -1 | -5,035,145 |
Now, we try dividing 5,035,145 by 3:
5,035,145 ÷ 3 = 1,678,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,678,381.6667 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 | 5,035,145 | |
| -1 | -5,035,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,035,145 ÷ 4 = 1,258,786.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,258,786.25 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 | 5,035,145 | |
| -1 | 5,035,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 629 | 1,601 | 3,145 | 8,005 | 27,217 | 59,237 | 136,085 | 296,185 | 1,007,029 | 5,035,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -629 | -1,601 | -3,145 | -8,005 | -27,217 | -59,237 | -136,085 | -296,185 | -1,007,029 | -5,035,145 |
