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 5,068,609, 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 | 5,068,609 | |
| -1 | -5,068,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,068,609.
Example:
1 x 5,068,609 = 5,068,609
and
-1 x -5,068,609 = 5,068,609
Notice both answers equal 5,068,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,068,609 and divide it by 2:
5,068,609 ÷ 2 = 2,534,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,534,304.5 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 | 5,068,609 | |
| -1 | -5,068,609 |
Now, we try dividing 5,068,609 by 3:
5,068,609 ÷ 3 = 1,689,536.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,689,536.3333 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 | 5,068,609 | |
| -1 | -5,068,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,068,609 ÷ 4 = 1,267,152.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,267,152.25 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 | 5,068,609 | |
| -1 | 5,068,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 73 | 91 | 109 | 511 | 637 | 763 | 949 | 1,417 | 3,577 | 5,341 | 6,643 | 7,957 | 9,919 | 46,501 | 55,699 | 69,433 | 103,441 | 389,893 | 724,087 | 5,068,609 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -73 | -91 | -109 | -511 | -637 | -763 | -949 | -1,417 | -3,577 | -5,341 | -6,643 | -7,957 | -9,919 | -46,501 | -55,699 | -69,433 | -103,441 | -389,893 | -724,087 | -5,068,609 |
