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 5,037,809, 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 | 5,037,809 | |
| -1 | -5,037,809 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,037,809.
Example:
1 x 5,037,809 = 5,037,809
and
-1 x -5,037,809 = 5,037,809
Notice both answers equal 5,037,809
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,037,809 and divide it by 2:
5,037,809 ÷ 2 = 2,518,904.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,518,904.5 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 | 5,037,809 | |
| -1 | -5,037,809 |
Now, we try dividing 5,037,809 by 3:
5,037,809 ÷ 3 = 1,679,269.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,679,269.6667 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 | 5,037,809 | |
| -1 | -5,037,809 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,037,809 ÷ 4 = 1,259,452.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,259,452.25 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 | 5,037,809 | |
| -1 | 5,037,809 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 53 | 259 | 367 | 371 | 1,961 | 2,569 | 13,579 | 13,727 | 19,451 | 95,053 | 136,157 | 719,687 | 5,037,809 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -53 | -259 | -367 | -371 | -1,961 | -2,569 | -13,579 | -13,727 | -19,451 | -95,053 | -136,157 | -719,687 | -5,037,809 |
