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 5,374,019, 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 | 5,374,019 | |
| -1 | -5,374,019 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,374,019.
Example:
1 x 5,374,019 = 5,374,019
and
-1 x -5,374,019 = 5,374,019
Notice both answers equal 5,374,019
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,374,019 and divide it by 2:
5,374,019 ÷ 2 = 2,687,009.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,687,009.5 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 | 5,374,019 | |
| -1 | -5,374,019 |
Now, we try dividing 5,374,019 by 3:
5,374,019 ÷ 3 = 1,791,339.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,791,339.6667 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 | 5,374,019 | |
| -1 | -5,374,019 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,374,019 ÷ 4 = 1,343,504.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,343,504.75 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 | 5,374,019 | |
| -1 | 5,374,019 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 161 | 203 | 667 | 1,151 | 4,669 | 8,057 | 26,473 | 33,379 | 185,311 | 233,653 | 767,717 | 5,374,019 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -161 | -203 | -667 | -1,151 | -4,669 | -8,057 | -26,473 | -33,379 | -185,311 | -233,653 | -767,717 | -5,374,019 |
