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 5,302,885, 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 | 5,302,885 | |
| -1 | -5,302,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,302,885.
Example:
1 x 5,302,885 = 5,302,885
and
-1 x -5,302,885 = 5,302,885
Notice both answers equal 5,302,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,302,885 and divide it by 2:
5,302,885 ÷ 2 = 2,651,442.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,651,442.5 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 | 5,302,885 | |
| -1 | -5,302,885 |
Now, we try dividing 5,302,885 by 3:
5,302,885 ÷ 3 = 1,767,628.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,767,628.3333 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 | 5,302,885 | |
| -1 | -5,302,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,302,885 ÷ 4 = 1,325,721.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,325,721.25 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 | 5,302,885 | |
| -1 | 5,302,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 127 | 635 | 889 | 1,193 | 4,445 | 5,965 | 8,351 | 41,755 | 151,511 | 757,555 | 1,060,577 | 5,302,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -127 | -635 | -889 | -1,193 | -4,445 | -5,965 | -8,351 | -41,755 | -151,511 | -757,555 | -1,060,577 | -5,302,885 |
