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 5,374,663, 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 | 5,374,663 | |
| -1 | -5,374,663 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,374,663.
Example:
1 x 5,374,663 = 5,374,663
and
-1 x -5,374,663 = 5,374,663
Notice both answers equal 5,374,663
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,374,663 and divide it by 2:
5,374,663 ÷ 2 = 2,687,331.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,687,331.5 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 | 5,374,663 | |
| -1 | -5,374,663 |
Now, we try dividing 5,374,663 by 3:
5,374,663 ÷ 3 = 1,791,554.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,791,554.3333 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 | 5,374,663 | |
| -1 | -5,374,663 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,374,663 ÷ 4 = 1,343,665.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,343,665.75 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 | 5,374,663 | |
| -1 | 5,374,663 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 23 | 49 | 133 | 161 | 251 | 437 | 931 | 1,127 | 1,757 | 3,059 | 4,769 | 5,773 | 12,299 | 21,413 | 33,383 | 40,411 | 109,687 | 233,681 | 282,877 | 767,809 | 5,374,663 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -23 | -49 | -133 | -161 | -251 | -437 | -931 | -1,127 | -1,757 | -3,059 | -4,769 | -5,773 | -12,299 | -21,413 | -33,383 | -40,411 | -109,687 | -233,681 | -282,877 | -767,809 | -5,374,663 |
