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 5,302,969, 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 | 5,302,969 | |
| -1 | -5,302,969 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,302,969.
Example:
1 x 5,302,969 = 5,302,969
and
-1 x -5,302,969 = 5,302,969
Notice both answers equal 5,302,969
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,302,969 and divide it by 2:
5,302,969 ÷ 2 = 2,651,484.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,651,484.5 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 | 5,302,969 | |
| -1 | -5,302,969 |
Now, we try dividing 5,302,969 by 3:
5,302,969 ÷ 3 = 1,767,656.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,767,656.3333 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 | 5,302,969 | |
| -1 | -5,302,969 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,302,969 ÷ 4 = 1,325,742.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,325,742.25 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 | 5,302,969 | |
| -1 | 5,302,969 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 151 | 173 | 203 | 1,057 | 1,211 | 4,379 | 5,017 | 26,123 | 30,653 | 35,119 | 182,861 | 757,567 | 5,302,969 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -151 | -173 | -203 | -1,057 | -1,211 | -4,379 | -5,017 | -26,123 | -30,653 | -35,119 | -182,861 | -757,567 | -5,302,969 |
