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 5,096,663, 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 | 5,096,663 | |
| -1 | -5,096,663 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,096,663.
Example:
1 x 5,096,663 = 5,096,663
and
-1 x -5,096,663 = 5,096,663
Notice both answers equal 5,096,663
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,096,663 and divide it by 2:
5,096,663 ÷ 2 = 2,548,331.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,548,331.5 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 | 5,096,663 | |
| -1 | -5,096,663 |
Now, we try dividing 5,096,663 by 3:
5,096,663 ÷ 3 = 1,698,887.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,698,887.6667 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 | 5,096,663 | |
| -1 | -5,096,663 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,096,663 ÷ 4 = 1,274,165.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,274,165.75 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 | 5,096,663 | |
| -1 | 5,096,663 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 29 | 143 | 319 | 377 | 1,229 | 4,147 | 13,519 | 15,977 | 35,641 | 175,747 | 392,051 | 463,333 | 5,096,663 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -29 | -143 | -319 | -377 | -1,229 | -4,147 | -13,519 | -15,977 | -35,641 | -175,747 | -392,051 | -463,333 | -5,096,663 |
