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 5,305,433, 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 | 5,305,433 | |
| -1 | -5,305,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,305,433.
Example:
1 x 5,305,433 = 5,305,433
and
-1 x -5,305,433 = 5,305,433
Notice both answers equal 5,305,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,305,433 and divide it by 2:
5,305,433 ÷ 2 = 2,652,716.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,652,716.5 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 | 5,305,433 | |
| -1 | -5,305,433 |
Now, we try dividing 5,305,433 by 3:
5,305,433 ÷ 3 = 1,768,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,768,477.6667 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 | 5,305,433 | |
| -1 | -5,305,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,305,433 ÷ 4 = 1,326,358.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,326,358.25 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 | 5,305,433 | |
| -1 | 5,305,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 713 | 1,063 | 4,991 | 7,441 | 24,449 | 32,953 | 171,143 | 230,671 | 757,919 | 5,305,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -713 | -1,063 | -4,991 | -7,441 | -24,449 | -32,953 | -171,143 | -230,671 | -757,919 | -5,305,433 |
