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 5,284,279, 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 | 5,284,279 | |
| -1 | -5,284,279 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,284,279.
Example:
1 x 5,284,279 = 5,284,279
and
-1 x -5,284,279 = 5,284,279
Notice both answers equal 5,284,279
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,284,279 and divide it by 2:
5,284,279 ÷ 2 = 2,642,139.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,642,139.5 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 | 5,284,279 | |
| -1 | -5,284,279 |
Now, we try dividing 5,284,279 by 3:
5,284,279 ÷ 3 = 1,761,426.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,761,426.3333 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 | 5,284,279 | |
| -1 | -5,284,279 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,284,279 ÷ 4 = 1,321,069.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,321,069.75 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 | 5,284,279 | |
| -1 | 5,284,279 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 5,279 | 36,953 | 58,069 | 68,627 | 406,483 | 480,389 | 754,897 | 5,284,279 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -5,279 | -36,953 | -58,069 | -68,627 | -406,483 | -480,389 | -754,897 | -5,284,279 |
