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 5,267,339, 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 | 5,267,339 | |
| -1 | -5,267,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,267,339.
Example:
1 x 5,267,339 = 5,267,339
and
-1 x -5,267,339 = 5,267,339
Notice both answers equal 5,267,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,267,339 and divide it by 2:
5,267,339 ÷ 2 = 2,633,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,633,669.5 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 | 5,267,339 | |
| -1 | -5,267,339 |
Now, we try dividing 5,267,339 by 3:
5,267,339 ÷ 3 = 1,755,779.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,755,779.6667 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 | 5,267,339 | |
| -1 | -5,267,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,267,339 ÷ 4 = 1,316,834.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,316,834.75 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 | 5,267,339 | |
| -1 | 5,267,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 67 | 77 | 469 | 737 | 1,021 | 5,159 | 7,147 | 11,231 | 68,407 | 78,617 | 478,849 | 752,477 | 5,267,339 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -67 | -77 | -469 | -737 | -1,021 | -5,159 | -7,147 | -11,231 | -68,407 | -78,617 | -478,849 | -752,477 | -5,267,339 |
