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 5,065,405, 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 | 5,065,405 | |
| -1 | -5,065,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,065,405.
Example:
1 x 5,065,405 = 5,065,405
and
-1 x -5,065,405 = 5,065,405
Notice both answers equal 5,065,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,065,405 and divide it by 2:
5,065,405 ÷ 2 = 2,532,702.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,532,702.5 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 | 5,065,405 | |
| -1 | -5,065,405 |
Now, we try dividing 5,065,405 by 3:
5,065,405 ÷ 3 = 1,688,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,688,468.3333 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 | 5,065,405 | |
| -1 | -5,065,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,065,405 ÷ 4 = 1,266,351.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,266,351.25 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 | 5,065,405 | |
| -1 | 5,065,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 1,955 | 2,591 | 12,955 | 44,047 | 59,593 | 220,235 | 297,965 | 1,013,081 | 5,065,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -1,955 | -2,591 | -12,955 | -44,047 | -59,593 | -220,235 | -297,965 | -1,013,081 | -5,065,405 |
