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 5,352,161, 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 | 5,352,161 | |
| -1 | -5,352,161 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,352,161.
Example:
1 x 5,352,161 = 5,352,161
and
-1 x -5,352,161 = 5,352,161
Notice both answers equal 5,352,161
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,352,161 and divide it by 2:
5,352,161 ÷ 2 = 2,676,080.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,676,080.5 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 | 5,352,161 | |
| -1 | -5,352,161 |
Now, we try dividing 5,352,161 by 3:
5,352,161 ÷ 3 = 1,784,053.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,784,053.6667 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 | 5,352,161 | |
| -1 | -5,352,161 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,352,161 ÷ 4 = 1,338,040.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,338,040.25 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 | 5,352,161 | |
| -1 | 5,352,161 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 67 | 127 | 629 | 1,139 | 2,159 | 2,479 | 4,699 | 8,509 | 42,143 | 79,883 | 144,653 | 314,833 | 5,352,161 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -67 | -127 | -629 | -1,139 | -2,159 | -2,479 | -4,699 | -8,509 | -42,143 | -79,883 | -144,653 | -314,833 | -5,352,161 |
