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 5,306,329, 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 | 5,306,329 | |
| -1 | -5,306,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,306,329.
Example:
1 x 5,306,329 = 5,306,329
and
-1 x -5,306,329 = 5,306,329
Notice both answers equal 5,306,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,306,329 and divide it by 2:
5,306,329 ÷ 2 = 2,653,164.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,653,164.5 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 | 5,306,329 | |
| -1 | -5,306,329 |
Now, we try dividing 5,306,329 by 3:
5,306,329 ÷ 3 = 1,768,776.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,768,776.3333 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 | 5,306,329 | |
| -1 | -5,306,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,306,329 ÷ 4 = 1,326,582.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,326,582.25 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 | 5,306,329 | |
| -1 | 5,306,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 43 | 61 | 119 | 289 | 301 | 427 | 731 | 1,037 | 2,023 | 2,623 | 5,117 | 7,259 | 12,427 | 17,629 | 18,361 | 44,591 | 86,989 | 123,403 | 312,137 | 758,047 | 5,306,329 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -43 | -61 | -119 | -289 | -301 | -427 | -731 | -1,037 | -2,023 | -2,623 | -5,117 | -7,259 | -12,427 | -17,629 | -18,361 | -44,591 | -86,989 | -123,403 | -312,137 | -758,047 | -5,306,329 |
