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 5,236,735, 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 | 5,236,735 | |
| -1 | -5,236,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,236,735.
Example:
1 x 5,236,735 = 5,236,735
and
-1 x -5,236,735 = 5,236,735
Notice both answers equal 5,236,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,236,735 and divide it by 2:
5,236,735 ÷ 2 = 2,618,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,618,367.5 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 | 5,236,735 | |
| -1 | -5,236,735 |
Now, we try dividing 5,236,735 by 3:
5,236,735 ÷ 3 = 1,745,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,745,578.3333 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 | 5,236,735 | |
| -1 | -5,236,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,236,735 ÷ 4 = 1,309,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,309,183.75 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 | 5,236,735 | |
| -1 | 5,236,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 157 | 785 | 953 | 1,099 | 4,765 | 5,495 | 6,671 | 33,355 | 149,621 | 748,105 | 1,047,347 | 5,236,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -157 | -785 | -953 | -1,099 | -4,765 | -5,495 | -6,671 | -33,355 | -149,621 | -748,105 | -1,047,347 | -5,236,735 |
