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 5,156,095, 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 | 5,156,095 | |
| -1 | -5,156,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,156,095.
Example:
1 x 5,156,095 = 5,156,095
and
-1 x -5,156,095 = 5,156,095
Notice both answers equal 5,156,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,156,095 and divide it by 2:
5,156,095 ÷ 2 = 2,578,047.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,578,047.5 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 | 5,156,095 | |
| -1 | -5,156,095 |
Now, we try dividing 5,156,095 by 3:
5,156,095 ÷ 3 = 1,718,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,718,698.3333 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 | 5,156,095 | |
| -1 | -5,156,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,156,095 ÷ 4 = 1,289,023.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,289,023.75 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 | 5,156,095 | |
| -1 | 5,156,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 179 | 823 | 895 | 1,253 | 4,115 | 5,761 | 6,265 | 28,805 | 147,317 | 736,585 | 1,031,219 | 5,156,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -179 | -823 | -895 | -1,253 | -4,115 | -5,761 | -6,265 | -28,805 | -147,317 | -736,585 | -1,031,219 | -5,156,095 |
