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 5,103,035, 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 | 5,103,035 | |
| -1 | -5,103,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,103,035.
Example:
1 x 5,103,035 = 5,103,035
and
-1 x -5,103,035 = 5,103,035
Notice both answers equal 5,103,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,103,035 and divide it by 2:
5,103,035 ÷ 2 = 2,551,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,551,517.5 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 | 5,103,035 | |
| -1 | -5,103,035 |
Now, we try dividing 5,103,035 by 3:
5,103,035 ÷ 3 = 1,701,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,701,011.6667 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 | 5,103,035 | |
| -1 | -5,103,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,103,035 ÷ 4 = 1,275,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,275,758.75 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 | 5,103,035 | |
| -1 | 5,103,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 211 | 691 | 1,055 | 1,477 | 3,455 | 4,837 | 7,385 | 24,185 | 145,801 | 729,005 | 1,020,607 | 5,103,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -211 | -691 | -1,055 | -1,477 | -3,455 | -4,837 | -7,385 | -24,185 | -145,801 | -729,005 | -1,020,607 | -5,103,035 |
