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 5,121,011, 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 | 5,121,011 | |
| -1 | -5,121,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,121,011.
Example:
1 x 5,121,011 = 5,121,011
and
-1 x -5,121,011 = 5,121,011
Notice both answers equal 5,121,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,121,011 and divide it by 2:
5,121,011 ÷ 2 = 2,560,505.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,560,505.5 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 | 5,121,011 | |
| -1 | -5,121,011 |
Now, we try dividing 5,121,011 by 3:
5,121,011 ÷ 3 = 1,707,003.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,707,003.6667 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 | 5,121,011 | |
| -1 | -5,121,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,121,011 ÷ 4 = 1,280,252.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,280,252.75 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 | 5,121,011 | |
| -1 | 5,121,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 61 | 67 | 179 | 427 | 469 | 1,253 | 4,087 | 10,919 | 11,993 | 28,609 | 76,433 | 83,951 | 731,573 | 5,121,011 |
| -1 | -7 | -61 | -67 | -179 | -427 | -469 | -1,253 | -4,087 | -10,919 | -11,993 | -28,609 | -76,433 | -83,951 | -731,573 | -5,121,011 |
