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 5,047,375, 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 | 5,047,375 | |
| -1 | -5,047,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,047,375.
Example:
1 x 5,047,375 = 5,047,375
and
-1 x -5,047,375 = 5,047,375
Notice both answers equal 5,047,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,047,375 and divide it by 2:
5,047,375 ÷ 2 = 2,523,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,523,687.5 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 | 5,047,375 | |
| -1 | -5,047,375 |
Now, we try dividing 5,047,375 by 3:
5,047,375 ÷ 3 = 1,682,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,682,458.3333 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 | 5,047,375 | |
| -1 | -5,047,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,047,375 ÷ 4 = 1,261,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,261,843.75 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 | 5,047,375 | |
| -1 | 5,047,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 149 | 271 | 745 | 1,355 | 3,725 | 6,775 | 18,625 | 33,875 | 40,379 | 201,895 | 1,009,475 | 5,047,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -149 | -271 | -745 | -1,355 | -3,725 | -6,775 | -18,625 | -33,875 | -40,379 | -201,895 | -1,009,475 | -5,047,375 |
