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 5,073,107, 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 | 5,073,107 | |
| -1 | -5,073,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,073,107.
Example:
1 x 5,073,107 = 5,073,107
and
-1 x -5,073,107 = 5,073,107
Notice both answers equal 5,073,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,073,107 and divide it by 2:
5,073,107 ÷ 2 = 2,536,553.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,536,553.5 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 | 5,073,107 | |
| -1 | -5,073,107 |
Now, we try dividing 5,073,107 by 3:
5,073,107 ÷ 3 = 1,691,035.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,691,035.6667 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 | 5,073,107 | |
| -1 | -5,073,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,073,107 ÷ 4 = 1,268,276.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,268,276.75 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 | 5,073,107 | |
| -1 | 5,073,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 53 | 199 | 481 | 689 | 1,961 | 2,587 | 7,363 | 10,547 | 25,493 | 95,719 | 137,111 | 390,239 | 5,073,107 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -53 | -199 | -481 | -689 | -1,961 | -2,587 | -7,363 | -10,547 | -25,493 | -95,719 | -137,111 | -390,239 | -5,073,107 |
