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 5,350,681, 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 | 5,350,681 | |
| -1 | -5,350,681 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,350,681.
Example:
1 x 5,350,681 = 5,350,681
and
-1 x -5,350,681 = 5,350,681
Notice both answers equal 5,350,681
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,350,681 and divide it by 2:
5,350,681 ÷ 2 = 2,675,340.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,675,340.5 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 | 5,350,681 | |
| -1 | -5,350,681 |
Now, we try dividing 5,350,681 by 3:
5,350,681 ÷ 3 = 1,783,560.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,783,560.3333 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 | 5,350,681 | |
| -1 | -5,350,681 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,350,681 ÷ 4 = 1,337,670.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,337,670.25 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 | 5,350,681 | |
| -1 | 5,350,681 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 73 | 259 | 283 | 511 | 1,981 | 2,701 | 10,471 | 18,907 | 20,659 | 73,297 | 144,613 | 764,383 | 5,350,681 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -73 | -259 | -283 | -511 | -1,981 | -2,701 | -10,471 | -18,907 | -20,659 | -73,297 | -144,613 | -764,383 | -5,350,681 |
