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 5,110,963, 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 | 5,110,963 | |
| -1 | -5,110,963 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,110,963.
Example:
1 x 5,110,963 = 5,110,963
and
-1 x -5,110,963 = 5,110,963
Notice both answers equal 5,110,963
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,110,963 and divide it by 2:
5,110,963 ÷ 2 = 2,555,481.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,555,481.5 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 | 5,110,963 | |
| -1 | -5,110,963 |
Now, we try dividing 5,110,963 by 3:
5,110,963 ÷ 3 = 1,703,654.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,703,654.3333 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 | 5,110,963 | |
| -1 | -5,110,963 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,110,963 ÷ 4 = 1,277,740.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,277,740.75 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 | 5,110,963 | |
| -1 | 5,110,963 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 103 | 143 | 347 | 1,133 | 1,339 | 3,817 | 4,511 | 14,729 | 35,741 | 49,621 | 393,151 | 464,633 | 5,110,963 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -103 | -143 | -347 | -1,133 | -1,339 | -3,817 | -4,511 | -14,729 | -35,741 | -49,621 | -393,151 | -464,633 | -5,110,963 |
