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 5,152,115, 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 | 5,152,115 | |
| -1 | -5,152,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,152,115.
Example:
1 x 5,152,115 = 5,152,115
and
-1 x -5,152,115 = 5,152,115
Notice both answers equal 5,152,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,152,115 and divide it by 2:
5,152,115 ÷ 2 = 2,576,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,576,057.5 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 | 5,152,115 | |
| -1 | -5,152,115 |
Now, we try dividing 5,152,115 by 3:
5,152,115 ÷ 3 = 1,717,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,717,371.6667 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 | 5,152,115 | |
| -1 | -5,152,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,152,115 ÷ 4 = 1,288,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,288,028.75 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 | 5,152,115 | |
| -1 | 5,152,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 71 | 115 | 355 | 631 | 1,633 | 3,155 | 8,165 | 14,513 | 44,801 | 72,565 | 224,005 | 1,030,423 | 5,152,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -71 | -115 | -355 | -631 | -1,633 | -3,155 | -8,165 | -14,513 | -44,801 | -72,565 | -224,005 | -1,030,423 | -5,152,115 |
