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 5,246,785, 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 | 5,246,785 | |
| -1 | -5,246,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,246,785.
Example:
1 x 5,246,785 = 5,246,785
and
-1 x -5,246,785 = 5,246,785
Notice both answers equal 5,246,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,246,785 and divide it by 2:
5,246,785 ÷ 2 = 2,623,392.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,623,392.5 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 | 5,246,785 | |
| -1 | -5,246,785 |
Now, we try dividing 5,246,785 by 3:
5,246,785 ÷ 3 = 1,748,928.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,748,928.3333 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 | 5,246,785 | |
| -1 | -5,246,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,246,785 ÷ 4 = 1,311,696.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,311,696.25 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 | 5,246,785 | |
| -1 | 5,246,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 79 | 185 | 359 | 395 | 1,795 | 2,923 | 13,283 | 14,615 | 28,361 | 66,415 | 141,805 | 1,049,357 | 5,246,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -79 | -185 | -359 | -395 | -1,795 | -2,923 | -13,283 | -14,615 | -28,361 | -66,415 | -141,805 | -1,049,357 | -5,246,785 |
