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 5,218,609, 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 | 5,218,609 | |
| -1 | -5,218,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,218,609.
Example:
1 x 5,218,609 = 5,218,609
and
-1 x -5,218,609 = 5,218,609
Notice both answers equal 5,218,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,218,609 and divide it by 2:
5,218,609 ÷ 2 = 2,609,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,609,304.5 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 | 5,218,609 | |
| -1 | -5,218,609 |
Now, we try dividing 5,218,609 by 3:
5,218,609 ÷ 3 = 1,739,536.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,739,536.3333 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 | 5,218,609 | |
| -1 | -5,218,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,218,609 ÷ 4 = 1,304,652.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,304,652.25 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 | 5,218,609 | |
| -1 | 5,218,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 43 | 59 | 121 | 187 | 473 | 649 | 731 | 1,003 | 2,057 | 2,537 | 5,203 | 7,139 | 8,041 | 11,033 | 27,907 | 43,129 | 88,451 | 121,363 | 306,977 | 474,419 | 5,218,609 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -43 | -59 | -121 | -187 | -473 | -649 | -731 | -1,003 | -2,057 | -2,537 | -5,203 | -7,139 | -8,041 | -11,033 | -27,907 | -43,129 | -88,451 | -121,363 | -306,977 | -474,419 | -5,218,609 |
