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 5,267,431, 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 | 5,267,431 | |
| -1 | -5,267,431 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,267,431.
Example:
1 x 5,267,431 = 5,267,431
and
-1 x -5,267,431 = 5,267,431
Notice both answers equal 5,267,431
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,267,431 and divide it by 2:
5,267,431 ÷ 2 = 2,633,715.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,633,715.5 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 | 5,267,431 | |
| -1 | -5,267,431 |
Now, we try dividing 5,267,431 by 3:
5,267,431 ÷ 3 = 1,755,810.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,755,810.3333 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 | 5,267,431 | |
| -1 | -5,267,431 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,267,431 ÷ 4 = 1,316,857.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,316,857.75 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 | 5,267,431 | |
| -1 | 5,267,431 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 47 | 233 | 481 | 611 | 1,739 | 3,029 | 8,621 | 10,951 | 22,607 | 112,073 | 142,363 | 405,187 | 5,267,431 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -47 | -233 | -481 | -611 | -1,739 | -3,029 | -8,621 | -10,951 | -22,607 | -112,073 | -142,363 | -405,187 | -5,267,431 |
