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 5,112,085, 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 | 5,112,085 | |
| -1 | -5,112,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,112,085.
Example:
1 x 5,112,085 = 5,112,085
and
-1 x -5,112,085 = 5,112,085
Notice both answers equal 5,112,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,112,085 and divide it by 2:
5,112,085 ÷ 2 = 2,556,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,556,042.5 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 | 5,112,085 | |
| -1 | -5,112,085 |
Now, we try dividing 5,112,085 by 3:
5,112,085 ÷ 3 = 1,704,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,704,028.3333 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 | 5,112,085 | |
| -1 | -5,112,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,112,085 ÷ 4 = 1,278,021.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,278,021.25 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 | 5,112,085 | |
| -1 | 5,112,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 451 | 2,255 | 2,267 | 11,335 | 24,937 | 92,947 | 124,685 | 464,735 | 1,022,417 | 5,112,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -451 | -2,255 | -2,267 | -11,335 | -24,937 | -92,947 | -124,685 | -464,735 | -1,022,417 | -5,112,085 |
