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 5,138,777, 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 | 5,138,777 | |
| -1 | -5,138,777 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,138,777.
Example:
1 x 5,138,777 = 5,138,777
and
-1 x -5,138,777 = 5,138,777
Notice both answers equal 5,138,777
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,138,777 and divide it by 2:
5,138,777 ÷ 2 = 2,569,388.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,569,388.5 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 | 5,138,777 | |
| -1 | -5,138,777 |
Now, we try dividing 5,138,777 by 3:
5,138,777 ÷ 3 = 1,712,925.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,712,925.6667 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 | 5,138,777 | |
| -1 | -5,138,777 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,138,777 ÷ 4 = 1,284,694.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,284,694.25 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 | 5,138,777 | |
| -1 | 5,138,777 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 31 | 49 | 119 | 199 | 217 | 527 | 833 | 1,393 | 1,519 | 3,383 | 3,689 | 6,169 | 9,751 | 23,681 | 25,823 | 43,183 | 104,873 | 165,767 | 302,281 | 734,111 | 5,138,777 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -31 | -49 | -119 | -199 | -217 | -527 | -833 | -1,393 | -1,519 | -3,383 | -3,689 | -6,169 | -9,751 | -23,681 | -25,823 | -43,183 | -104,873 | -165,767 | -302,281 | -734,111 | -5,138,777 |
