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 5,201,335, 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 | 5,201,335 | |
| -1 | -5,201,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,201,335.
Example:
1 x 5,201,335 = 5,201,335
and
-1 x -5,201,335 = 5,201,335
Notice both answers equal 5,201,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,201,335 and divide it by 2:
5,201,335 ÷ 2 = 2,600,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,600,667.5 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 | 5,201,335 | |
| -1 | -5,201,335 |
Now, we try dividing 5,201,335 by 3:
5,201,335 ÷ 3 = 1,733,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,733,778.3333 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 | 5,201,335 | |
| -1 | -5,201,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,201,335 ÷ 4 = 1,300,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,300,333.75 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 | 5,201,335 | |
| -1 | 5,201,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 713 | 1,459 | 3,565 | 7,295 | 33,557 | 45,229 | 167,785 | 226,145 | 1,040,267 | 5,201,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -713 | -1,459 | -3,565 | -7,295 | -33,557 | -45,229 | -167,785 | -226,145 | -1,040,267 | -5,201,335 |
