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 5,350,615, 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 | 5,350,615 | |
| -1 | -5,350,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,350,615.
Example:
1 x 5,350,615 = 5,350,615
and
-1 x -5,350,615 = 5,350,615
Notice both answers equal 5,350,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,350,615 and divide it by 2:
5,350,615 ÷ 2 = 2,675,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,675,307.5 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 | 5,350,615 | |
| -1 | -5,350,615 |
Now, we try dividing 5,350,615 by 3:
5,350,615 ÷ 3 = 1,783,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,783,538.3333 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 | 5,350,615 | |
| -1 | -5,350,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,350,615 ÷ 4 = 1,337,653.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,337,653.75 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 | 5,350,615 | |
| -1 | 5,350,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 61 | 265 | 305 | 331 | 1,655 | 3,233 | 16,165 | 17,543 | 20,191 | 87,715 | 100,955 | 1,070,123 | 5,350,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -61 | -265 | -305 | -331 | -1,655 | -3,233 | -16,165 | -17,543 | -20,191 | -87,715 | -100,955 | -1,070,123 | -5,350,615 |
