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 5,041,135, 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 | 5,041,135 | |
| -1 | -5,041,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,041,135.
Example:
1 x 5,041,135 = 5,041,135
and
-1 x -5,041,135 = 5,041,135
Notice both answers equal 5,041,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,041,135 and divide it by 2:
5,041,135 ÷ 2 = 2,520,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,520,567.5 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 | 5,041,135 | |
| -1 | -5,041,135 |
Now, we try dividing 5,041,135 by 3:
5,041,135 ÷ 3 = 1,680,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,680,378.3333 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 | 5,041,135 | |
| -1 | -5,041,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,041,135 ÷ 4 = 1,260,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,260,283.75 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 | 5,041,135 | |
| -1 | 5,041,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 151 | 607 | 755 | 1,661 | 3,035 | 6,677 | 8,305 | 33,385 | 91,657 | 458,285 | 1,008,227 | 5,041,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -151 | -607 | -755 | -1,661 | -3,035 | -6,677 | -8,305 | -33,385 | -91,657 | -458,285 | -1,008,227 | -5,041,135 |
