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 5,090,327, 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 | 5,090,327 | |
| -1 | -5,090,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,090,327.
Example:
1 x 5,090,327 = 5,090,327
and
-1 x -5,090,327 = 5,090,327
Notice both answers equal 5,090,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,090,327 and divide it by 2:
5,090,327 ÷ 2 = 2,545,163.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,545,163.5 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 | 5,090,327 | |
| -1 | -5,090,327 |
Now, we try dividing 5,090,327 by 3:
5,090,327 ÷ 3 = 1,696,775.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,696,775.6667 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 | 5,090,327 | |
| -1 | -5,090,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,090,327 ÷ 4 = 1,272,581.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,272,581.75 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 | 5,090,327 | |
| -1 | 5,090,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 163 | 167 | 187 | 1,793 | 1,837 | 2,771 | 2,839 | 27,221 | 30,481 | 31,229 | 299,431 | 462,757 | 5,090,327 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -163 | -167 | -187 | -1,793 | -1,837 | -2,771 | -2,839 | -27,221 | -30,481 | -31,229 | -299,431 | -462,757 | -5,090,327 |
