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 5,068,283, 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 | 5,068,283 | |
| -1 | -5,068,283 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,068,283.
Example:
1 x 5,068,283 = 5,068,283
and
-1 x -5,068,283 = 5,068,283
Notice both answers equal 5,068,283
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,068,283 and divide it by 2:
5,068,283 ÷ 2 = 2,534,141.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,534,141.5 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 | 5,068,283 | |
| -1 | -5,068,283 |
Now, we try dividing 5,068,283 by 3:
5,068,283 ÷ 3 = 1,689,427.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,689,427.6667 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 | 5,068,283 | |
| -1 | -5,068,283 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,068,283 ÷ 4 = 1,267,070.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,267,070.75 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 | 5,068,283 | |
| -1 | 5,068,283 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 89 | 167 | 341 | 979 | 1,837 | 2,759 | 5,177 | 14,863 | 30,349 | 56,947 | 163,493 | 460,753 | 5,068,283 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -89 | -167 | -341 | -979 | -1,837 | -2,759 | -5,177 | -14,863 | -30,349 | -56,947 | -163,493 | -460,753 | -5,068,283 |
