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 5,300,845, 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 | 5,300,845 | |
| -1 | -5,300,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,300,845.
Example:
1 x 5,300,845 = 5,300,845
and
-1 x -5,300,845 = 5,300,845
Notice both answers equal 5,300,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,300,845 and divide it by 2:
5,300,845 ÷ 2 = 2,650,422.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,650,422.5 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 | 5,300,845 | |
| -1 | -5,300,845 |
Now, we try dividing 5,300,845 by 3:
5,300,845 ÷ 3 = 1,766,948.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,766,948.3333 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 | 5,300,845 | |
| -1 | -5,300,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,300,845 ÷ 4 = 1,325,211.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,325,211.25 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 | 5,300,845 | |
| -1 | 5,300,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 3,109 | 15,545 | 34,199 | 96,379 | 170,995 | 481,895 | 1,060,169 | 5,300,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -3,109 | -15,545 | -34,199 | -96,379 | -170,995 | -481,895 | -1,060,169 | -5,300,845 |
