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 5,096,665, 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 | 5,096,665 | |
| -1 | -5,096,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,096,665.
Example:
1 x 5,096,665 = 5,096,665
and
-1 x -5,096,665 = 5,096,665
Notice both answers equal 5,096,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,096,665 and divide it by 2:
5,096,665 ÷ 2 = 2,548,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,548,332.5 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 | 5,096,665 | |
| -1 | -5,096,665 |
Now, we try dividing 5,096,665 by 3:
5,096,665 ÷ 3 = 1,698,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,698,888.3333 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 | 5,096,665 | |
| -1 | -5,096,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,096,665 ÷ 4 = 1,274,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,274,166.25 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 | 5,096,665 | |
| -1 | 5,096,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 223 | 653 | 1,115 | 1,561 | 3,265 | 4,571 | 7,805 | 22,855 | 145,619 | 728,095 | 1,019,333 | 5,096,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -223 | -653 | -1,115 | -1,561 | -3,265 | -4,571 | -7,805 | -22,855 | -145,619 | -728,095 | -1,019,333 | -5,096,665 |
