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 5,053,031, 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 | 5,053,031 | |
| -1 | -5,053,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,053,031.
Example:
1 x 5,053,031 = 5,053,031
and
-1 x -5,053,031 = 5,053,031
Notice both answers equal 5,053,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,053,031 and divide it by 2:
5,053,031 ÷ 2 = 2,526,515.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,526,515.5 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 | 5,053,031 | |
| -1 | -5,053,031 |
Now, we try dividing 5,053,031 by 3:
5,053,031 ÷ 3 = 1,684,343.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,684,343.6667 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 | 5,053,031 | |
| -1 | -5,053,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,053,031 ÷ 4 = 1,263,257.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,263,257.75 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 | 5,053,031 | |
| -1 | 5,053,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 31 | 373 | 437 | 589 | 713 | 7,087 | 8,579 | 11,563 | 13,547 | 163,001 | 219,697 | 265,949 | 5,053,031 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -31 | -373 | -437 | -589 | -713 | -7,087 | -8,579 | -11,563 | -13,547 | -163,001 | -219,697 | -265,949 | -5,053,031 |
