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 5,366,417, 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 | 5,366,417 | |
| -1 | -5,366,417 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,366,417.
Example:
1 x 5,366,417 = 5,366,417
and
-1 x -5,366,417 = 5,366,417
Notice both answers equal 5,366,417
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,366,417 and divide it by 2:
5,366,417 ÷ 2 = 2,683,208.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,683,208.5 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 | 5,366,417 | |
| -1 | -5,366,417 |
Now, we try dividing 5,366,417 by 3:
5,366,417 ÷ 3 = 1,788,805.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,788,805.6667 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 | 5,366,417 | |
| -1 | -5,366,417 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,366,417 ÷ 4 = 1,341,604.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,341,604.25 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 | 5,366,417 | |
| -1 | 5,366,417 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 157 | 257 | 1,099 | 1,799 | 2,983 | 4,883 | 20,881 | 34,181 | 40,349 | 282,443 | 766,631 | 5,366,417 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -157 | -257 | -1,099 | -1,799 | -2,983 | -4,883 | -20,881 | -34,181 | -40,349 | -282,443 | -766,631 | -5,366,417 |
