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 5,104,085, 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 | 5,104,085 | |
| -1 | -5,104,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,104,085.
Example:
1 x 5,104,085 = 5,104,085
and
-1 x -5,104,085 = 5,104,085
Notice both answers equal 5,104,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,104,085 and divide it by 2:
5,104,085 ÷ 2 = 2,552,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,552,042.5 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 | 5,104,085 | |
| -1 | -5,104,085 |
Now, we try dividing 5,104,085 by 3:
5,104,085 ÷ 3 = 1,701,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,701,361.6667 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 | 5,104,085 | |
| -1 | -5,104,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,104,085 ÷ 4 = 1,276,021.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,276,021.25 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 | 5,104,085 | |
| -1 | 5,104,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 83 | 245 | 251 | 415 | 581 | 1,255 | 1,757 | 2,905 | 4,067 | 8,785 | 12,299 | 20,335 | 20,833 | 61,495 | 104,165 | 145,831 | 729,155 | 1,020,817 | 5,104,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -83 | -245 | -251 | -415 | -581 | -1,255 | -1,757 | -2,905 | -4,067 | -8,785 | -12,299 | -20,335 | -20,833 | -61,495 | -104,165 | -145,831 | -729,155 | -1,020,817 | -5,104,085 |
