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 5,254,345, 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 | 5,254,345 | |
| -1 | -5,254,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,254,345.
Example:
1 x 5,254,345 = 5,254,345
and
-1 x -5,254,345 = 5,254,345
Notice both answers equal 5,254,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,254,345 and divide it by 2:
5,254,345 ÷ 2 = 2,627,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,627,172.5 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 | 5,254,345 | |
| -1 | -5,254,345 |
Now, we try dividing 5,254,345 by 3:
5,254,345 ÷ 3 = 1,751,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,751,448.3333 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 | 5,254,345 | |
| -1 | -5,254,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,254,345 ÷ 4 = 1,313,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,313,586.25 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 | 5,254,345 | |
| -1 | 5,254,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 109 | 155 | 311 | 545 | 1,555 | 3,379 | 9,641 | 16,895 | 33,899 | 48,205 | 169,495 | 1,050,869 | 5,254,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -109 | -155 | -311 | -545 | -1,555 | -3,379 | -9,641 | -16,895 | -33,899 | -48,205 | -169,495 | -1,050,869 | -5,254,345 |
