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 5,258,495, 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 | 5,258,495 | |
| -1 | -5,258,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,258,495.
Example:
1 x 5,258,495 = 5,258,495
and
-1 x -5,258,495 = 5,258,495
Notice both answers equal 5,258,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,258,495 and divide it by 2:
5,258,495 ÷ 2 = 2,629,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,629,247.5 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 | 5,258,495 | |
| -1 | -5,258,495 |
Now, we try dividing 5,258,495 by 3:
5,258,495 ÷ 3 = 1,752,831.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,752,831.6667 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 | 5,258,495 | |
| -1 | -5,258,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,258,495 ÷ 4 = 1,314,623.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,314,623.75 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 | 5,258,495 | |
| -1 | 5,258,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 67 | 335 | 737 | 1,427 | 3,685 | 7,135 | 15,697 | 78,485 | 95,609 | 478,045 | 1,051,699 | 5,258,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -67 | -335 | -737 | -1,427 | -3,685 | -7,135 | -15,697 | -78,485 | -95,609 | -478,045 | -1,051,699 | -5,258,495 |
