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 5,321,335, 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 | 5,321,335 | |
| -1 | -5,321,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,321,335.
Example:
1 x 5,321,335 = 5,321,335
and
-1 x -5,321,335 = 5,321,335
Notice both answers equal 5,321,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,321,335 and divide it by 2:
5,321,335 ÷ 2 = 2,660,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,660,667.5 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 | 5,321,335 | |
| -1 | -5,321,335 |
Now, we try dividing 5,321,335 by 3:
5,321,335 ÷ 3 = 1,773,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,773,778.3333 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 | 5,321,335 | |
| -1 | -5,321,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,321,335 ÷ 4 = 1,330,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,330,333.75 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 | 5,321,335 | |
| -1 | 5,321,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 61 | 73 | 239 | 305 | 365 | 1,195 | 4,453 | 14,579 | 17,447 | 22,265 | 72,895 | 87,235 | 1,064,267 | 5,321,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -61 | -73 | -239 | -305 | -365 | -1,195 | -4,453 | -14,579 | -17,447 | -22,265 | -72,895 | -87,235 | -1,064,267 | -5,321,335 |
