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 5,293,841, 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 | 5,293,841 | |
| -1 | -5,293,841 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,293,841.
Example:
1 x 5,293,841 = 5,293,841
and
-1 x -5,293,841 = 5,293,841
Notice both answers equal 5,293,841
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,293,841 and divide it by 2:
5,293,841 ÷ 2 = 2,646,920.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,646,920.5 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 | 5,293,841 | |
| -1 | -5,293,841 |
Now, we try dividing 5,293,841 by 3:
5,293,841 ÷ 3 = 1,764,613.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,764,613.6667 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 | 5,293,841 | |
| -1 | -5,293,841 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,293,841 ÷ 4 = 1,323,460.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,323,460.25 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 | 5,293,841 | |
| -1 | 5,293,841 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 131 | 161 | 251 | 917 | 1,757 | 3,013 | 5,773 | 21,091 | 32,881 | 40,411 | 230,167 | 756,263 | 5,293,841 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -131 | -161 | -251 | -917 | -1,757 | -3,013 | -5,773 | -21,091 | -32,881 | -40,411 | -230,167 | -756,263 | -5,293,841 |
