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 5,341,973, 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 | 5,341,973 | |
| -1 | -5,341,973 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,341,973.
Example:
1 x 5,341,973 = 5,341,973
and
-1 x -5,341,973 = 5,341,973
Notice both answers equal 5,341,973
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,341,973 and divide it by 2:
5,341,973 ÷ 2 = 2,670,986.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,670,986.5 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 | 5,341,973 | |
| -1 | -5,341,973 |
Now, we try dividing 5,341,973 by 3:
5,341,973 ÷ 3 = 1,780,657.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,780,657.6667 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 | 5,341,973 | |
| -1 | -5,341,973 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,341,973 ÷ 4 = 1,335,493.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,335,493.25 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 | 5,341,973 | |
| -1 | 5,341,973 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 47 | 91 | 329 | 611 | 1,249 | 4,277 | 8,743 | 16,237 | 58,703 | 113,659 | 410,921 | 763,139 | 5,341,973 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -47 | -91 | -329 | -611 | -1,249 | -4,277 | -8,743 | -16,237 | -58,703 | -113,659 | -410,921 | -763,139 | -5,341,973 |
