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 5,413,331, 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 | 5,413,331 | |
| -1 | -5,413,331 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,413,331.
Example:
1 x 5,413,331 = 5,413,331
and
-1 x -5,413,331 = 5,413,331
Notice both answers equal 5,413,331
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,413,331 and divide it by 2:
5,413,331 ÷ 2 = 2,706,665.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,706,665.5 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 | 5,413,331 | |
| -1 | -5,413,331 |
Now, we try dividing 5,413,331 by 3:
5,413,331 ÷ 3 = 1,804,443.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,804,443.6667 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 | 5,413,331 | |
| -1 | -5,413,331 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,413,331 ÷ 4 = 1,353,332.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,353,332.75 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 | 5,413,331 | |
| -1 | 5,413,331 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 229 | 307 | 1,603 | 2,149 | 2,519 | 3,377 | 17,633 | 23,639 | 70,303 | 492,121 | 773,333 | 5,413,331 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -229 | -307 | -1,603 | -2,149 | -2,519 | -3,377 | -17,633 | -23,639 | -70,303 | -492,121 | -773,333 | -5,413,331 |
