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 5,413,343, 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 | 5,413,343 | |
| -1 | -5,413,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,413,343.
Example:
1 x 5,413,343 = 5,413,343
and
-1 x -5,413,343 = 5,413,343
Notice both answers equal 5,413,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,413,343 and divide it by 2:
5,413,343 ÷ 2 = 2,706,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,706,671.5 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 | 5,413,343 | |
| -1 | -5,413,343 |
Now, we try dividing 5,413,343 by 3:
5,413,343 ÷ 3 = 1,804,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,804,447.6667 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 | 5,413,343 | |
| -1 | -5,413,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,413,343 ÷ 4 = 1,353,335.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,353,335.75 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 | 5,413,343 | |
| -1 | 5,413,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 83 | 173 | 377 | 1,079 | 2,249 | 2,407 | 5,017 | 14,359 | 31,291 | 65,221 | 186,667 | 416,411 | 5,413,343 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -83 | -173 | -377 | -1,079 | -2,249 | -2,407 | -5,017 | -14,359 | -31,291 | -65,221 | -186,667 | -416,411 | -5,413,343 |
