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 5,053,165, 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 | 5,053,165 | |
| -1 | -5,053,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,053,165.
Example:
1 x 5,053,165 = 5,053,165
and
-1 x -5,053,165 = 5,053,165
Notice both answers equal 5,053,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,053,165 and divide it by 2:
5,053,165 ÷ 2 = 2,526,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,526,582.5 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 | 5,053,165 | |
| -1 | -5,053,165 |
Now, we try dividing 5,053,165 by 3:
5,053,165 ÷ 3 = 1,684,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,684,388.3333 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 | 5,053,165 | |
| -1 | -5,053,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,053,165 ÷ 4 = 1,263,291.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,263,291.25 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 | 5,053,165 | |
| -1 | 5,053,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 65 | 85 | 221 | 269 | 289 | 1,105 | 1,345 | 1,445 | 3,497 | 3,757 | 4,573 | 17,485 | 18,785 | 22,865 | 59,449 | 77,741 | 297,245 | 388,705 | 1,010,633 | 5,053,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -65 | -85 | -221 | -269 | -289 | -1,105 | -1,345 | -1,445 | -3,497 | -3,757 | -4,573 | -17,485 | -18,785 | -22,865 | -59,449 | -77,741 | -297,245 | -388,705 | -1,010,633 | -5,053,165 |
