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 5,292,703, 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 | 5,292,703 | |
| -1 | -5,292,703 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,292,703.
Example:
1 x 5,292,703 = 5,292,703
and
-1 x -5,292,703 = 5,292,703
Notice both answers equal 5,292,703
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,292,703 and divide it by 2:
5,292,703 ÷ 2 = 2,646,351.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,646,351.5 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 | 5,292,703 | |
| -1 | -5,292,703 |
Now, we try dividing 5,292,703 by 3:
5,292,703 ÷ 3 = 1,764,234.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,764,234.3333 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 | 5,292,703 | |
| -1 | -5,292,703 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,292,703 ÷ 4 = 1,323,175.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,323,175.75 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 | 5,292,703 | |
| -1 | 5,292,703 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 101 | 139 | 377 | 1,313 | 1,807 | 2,929 | 4,031 | 14,039 | 38,077 | 52,403 | 182,507 | 407,131 | 5,292,703 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -101 | -139 | -377 | -1,313 | -1,807 | -2,929 | -4,031 | -14,039 | -38,077 | -52,403 | -182,507 | -407,131 | -5,292,703 |
