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 5,073,455, 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 | 5,073,455 | |
| -1 | -5,073,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,073,455.
Example:
1 x 5,073,455 = 5,073,455
and
-1 x -5,073,455 = 5,073,455
Notice both answers equal 5,073,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,073,455 and divide it by 2:
5,073,455 ÷ 2 = 2,536,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,536,727.5 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 | 5,073,455 | |
| -1 | -5,073,455 |
Now, we try dividing 5,073,455 by 3:
5,073,455 ÷ 3 = 1,691,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,691,151.6667 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 | 5,073,455 | |
| -1 | -5,073,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,073,455 ÷ 4 = 1,268,363.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,268,363.75 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 | 5,073,455 | |
| -1 | 5,073,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 157 | 281 | 785 | 1,405 | 3,611 | 6,463 | 18,055 | 32,315 | 44,117 | 220,585 | 1,014,691 | 5,073,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -157 | -281 | -785 | -1,405 | -3,611 | -6,463 | -18,055 | -32,315 | -44,117 | -220,585 | -1,014,691 | -5,073,455 |
