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 5,043,533, 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 | 5,043,533 | |
| -1 | -5,043,533 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,043,533.
Example:
1 x 5,043,533 = 5,043,533
and
-1 x -5,043,533 = 5,043,533
Notice both answers equal 5,043,533
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,043,533 and divide it by 2:
5,043,533 ÷ 2 = 2,521,766.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,521,766.5 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 | 5,043,533 | |
| -1 | -5,043,533 |
Now, we try dividing 5,043,533 by 3:
5,043,533 ÷ 3 = 1,681,177.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,681,177.6667 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 | 5,043,533 | |
| -1 | -5,043,533 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,043,533 ÷ 4 = 1,260,883.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,260,883.25 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 | 5,043,533 | |
| -1 | 5,043,533 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 53 | 211 | 451 | 583 | 2,173 | 2,321 | 8,651 | 11,183 | 23,903 | 95,161 | 123,013 | 458,503 | 5,043,533 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -53 | -211 | -451 | -583 | -2,173 | -2,321 | -8,651 | -11,183 | -23,903 | -95,161 | -123,013 | -458,503 | -5,043,533 |
