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 5,321,935, 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 | 5,321,935 | |
| -1 | -5,321,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,321,935.
Example:
1 x 5,321,935 = 5,321,935
and
-1 x -5,321,935 = 5,321,935
Notice both answers equal 5,321,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,321,935 and divide it by 2:
5,321,935 ÷ 2 = 2,660,967.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,660,967.5 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 | 5,321,935 | |
| -1 | -5,321,935 |
Now, we try dividing 5,321,935 by 3:
5,321,935 ÷ 3 = 1,773,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,773,978.3333 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 | 5,321,935 | |
| -1 | -5,321,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,321,935 ÷ 4 = 1,330,483.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,330,483.75 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 | 5,321,935 | |
| -1 | 5,321,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 127 | 145 | 289 | 493 | 635 | 1,445 | 2,159 | 2,465 | 3,683 | 8,381 | 10,795 | 18,415 | 36,703 | 41,905 | 62,611 | 183,515 | 313,055 | 1,064,387 | 5,321,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -127 | -145 | -289 | -493 | -635 | -1,445 | -2,159 | -2,465 | -3,683 | -8,381 | -10,795 | -18,415 | -36,703 | -41,905 | -62,611 | -183,515 | -313,055 | -1,064,387 | -5,321,935 |
