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 5,038,735, 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 | 5,038,735 | |
| -1 | -5,038,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,038,735.
Example:
1 x 5,038,735 = 5,038,735
and
-1 x -5,038,735 = 5,038,735
Notice both answers equal 5,038,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,038,735 and divide it by 2:
5,038,735 ÷ 2 = 2,519,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,519,367.5 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 | 5,038,735 | |
| -1 | -5,038,735 |
Now, we try dividing 5,038,735 by 3:
5,038,735 ÷ 3 = 1,679,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,679,578.3333 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 | 5,038,735 | |
| -1 | -5,038,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,038,735 ÷ 4 = 1,259,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,259,683.75 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 | 5,038,735 | |
| -1 | 5,038,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 67 | 89 | 169 | 335 | 445 | 845 | 871 | 1,157 | 4,355 | 5,785 | 5,963 | 11,323 | 15,041 | 29,815 | 56,615 | 75,205 | 77,519 | 387,595 | 1,007,747 | 5,038,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -67 | -89 | -169 | -335 | -445 | -845 | -871 | -1,157 | -4,355 | -5,785 | -5,963 | -11,323 | -15,041 | -29,815 | -56,615 | -75,205 | -77,519 | -387,595 | -1,007,747 | -5,038,735 |
