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 5,141,227, 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 | 5,141,227 | |
| -1 | -5,141,227 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,141,227.
Example:
1 x 5,141,227 = 5,141,227
and
-1 x -5,141,227 = 5,141,227
Notice both answers equal 5,141,227
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,141,227 and divide it by 2:
5,141,227 ÷ 2 = 2,570,613.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,570,613.5 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 | 5,141,227 | |
| -1 | -5,141,227 |
Now, we try dividing 5,141,227 by 3:
5,141,227 ÷ 3 = 1,713,742.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,713,742.3333 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 | 5,141,227 | |
| -1 | -5,141,227 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,141,227 ÷ 4 = 1,285,306.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,285,306.75 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 | 5,141,227 | |
| -1 | 5,141,227 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 343 | 637 | 1,153 | 4,459 | 8,071 | 14,989 | 56,497 | 104,923 | 395,479 | 734,461 | 5,141,227 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -343 | -637 | -1,153 | -4,459 | -8,071 | -14,989 | -56,497 | -104,923 | -395,479 | -734,461 | -5,141,227 |
