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 5,337,541, 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 | 5,337,541 | |
| -1 | -5,337,541 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,337,541.
Example:
1 x 5,337,541 = 5,337,541
and
-1 x -5,337,541 = 5,337,541
Notice both answers equal 5,337,541
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,337,541 and divide it by 2:
5,337,541 ÷ 2 = 2,668,770.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,668,770.5 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 | 5,337,541 | |
| -1 | -5,337,541 |
Now, we try dividing 5,337,541 by 3:
5,337,541 ÷ 3 = 1,779,180.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,779,180.3333 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 | 5,337,541 | |
| -1 | -5,337,541 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,337,541 ÷ 4 = 1,334,385.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,334,385.25 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 | 5,337,541 | |
| -1 | 5,337,541 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 73 | 187 | 253 | 289 | 391 | 803 | 1,241 | 1,679 | 3,179 | 4,301 | 6,647 | 13,651 | 18,469 | 21,097 | 28,543 | 73,117 | 232,067 | 313,973 | 485,231 | 5,337,541 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -73 | -187 | -253 | -289 | -391 | -803 | -1,241 | -1,679 | -3,179 | -4,301 | -6,647 | -13,651 | -18,469 | -21,097 | -28,543 | -73,117 | -232,067 | -313,973 | -485,231 | -5,337,541 |
