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 5,179,955, 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 | 5,179,955 | |
| -1 | -5,179,955 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,179,955.
Example:
1 x 5,179,955 = 5,179,955
and
-1 x -5,179,955 = 5,179,955
Notice both answers equal 5,179,955
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,179,955 and divide it by 2:
5,179,955 ÷ 2 = 2,589,977.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,589,977.5 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 | 5,179,955 | |
| -1 | -5,179,955 |
Now, we try dividing 5,179,955 by 3:
5,179,955 ÷ 3 = 1,726,651.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,726,651.6667 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 | 5,179,955 | |
| -1 | -5,179,955 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,179,955 ÷ 4 = 1,294,988.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,294,988.75 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 | 5,179,955 | |
| -1 | 5,179,955 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 1,777 | 2,915 | 8,885 | 19,547 | 94,181 | 97,735 | 470,905 | 1,035,991 | 5,179,955 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -1,777 | -2,915 | -8,885 | -19,547 | -94,181 | -97,735 | -470,905 | -1,035,991 | -5,179,955 |
