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 5,131,577, 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 | 5,131,577 | |
| -1 | -5,131,577 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,131,577.
Example:
1 x 5,131,577 = 5,131,577
and
-1 x -5,131,577 = 5,131,577
Notice both answers equal 5,131,577
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,131,577 and divide it by 2:
5,131,577 ÷ 2 = 2,565,788.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,565,788.5 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 | 5,131,577 | |
| -1 | -5,131,577 |
Now, we try dividing 5,131,577 by 3:
5,131,577 ÷ 3 = 1,710,525.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,710,525.6667 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 | 5,131,577 | |
| -1 | -5,131,577 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,131,577 ÷ 4 = 1,282,894.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,282,894.25 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 | 5,131,577 | |
| -1 | 5,131,577 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 43 | 209 | 473 | 571 | 817 | 6,281 | 8,987 | 10,849 | 24,553 | 119,339 | 270,083 | 466,507 | 5,131,577 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -43 | -209 | -473 | -571 | -817 | -6,281 | -8,987 | -10,849 | -24,553 | -119,339 | -270,083 | -466,507 | -5,131,577 |
