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 5,335,043, 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 | 5,335,043 | |
| -1 | -5,335,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,335,043.
Example:
1 x 5,335,043 = 5,335,043
and
-1 x -5,335,043 = 5,335,043
Notice both answers equal 5,335,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,335,043 and divide it by 2:
5,335,043 ÷ 2 = 2,667,521.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,667,521.5 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 | 5,335,043 | |
| -1 | -5,335,043 |
Now, we try dividing 5,335,043 by 3:
5,335,043 ÷ 3 = 1,778,347.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,778,347.6667 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 | 5,335,043 | |
| -1 | -5,335,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,335,043 ÷ 4 = 1,333,760.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,333,760.75 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 | 5,335,043 | |
| -1 | 5,335,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 41 | 203 | 287 | 641 | 1,189 | 4,487 | 8,323 | 18,589 | 26,281 | 130,123 | 183,967 | 762,149 | 5,335,043 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -41 | -203 | -287 | -641 | -1,189 | -4,487 | -8,323 | -18,589 | -26,281 | -130,123 | -183,967 | -762,149 | -5,335,043 |
