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 5,054,135, 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 | 5,054,135 | |
| -1 | -5,054,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,054,135.
Example:
1 x 5,054,135 = 5,054,135
and
-1 x -5,054,135 = 5,054,135
Notice both answers equal 5,054,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,054,135 and divide it by 2:
5,054,135 ÷ 2 = 2,527,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,527,067.5 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 | 5,054,135 | |
| -1 | -5,054,135 |
Now, we try dividing 5,054,135 by 3:
5,054,135 ÷ 3 = 1,684,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,684,711.6667 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 | 5,054,135 | |
| -1 | -5,054,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,054,135 ÷ 4 = 1,263,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,263,533.75 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 | 5,054,135 | |
| -1 | 5,054,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 71 | 115 | 355 | 619 | 1,633 | 3,095 | 8,165 | 14,237 | 43,949 | 71,185 | 219,745 | 1,010,827 | 5,054,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -71 | -115 | -355 | -619 | -1,633 | -3,095 | -8,165 | -14,237 | -43,949 | -71,185 | -219,745 | -1,010,827 | -5,054,135 |
