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 5,433,353, 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 | 5,433,353 | |
| -1 | -5,433,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,433,353.
Example:
1 x 5,433,353 = 5,433,353
and
-1 x -5,433,353 = 5,433,353
Notice both answers equal 5,433,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,433,353 and divide it by 2:
5,433,353 ÷ 2 = 2,716,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,716,676.5 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 | 5,433,353 | |
| -1 | -5,433,353 |
Now, we try dividing 5,433,353 by 3:
5,433,353 ÷ 3 = 1,811,117.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,811,117.6667 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 | 5,433,353 | |
| -1 | -5,433,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,433,353 ÷ 4 = 1,358,338.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,358,338.25 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 | 5,433,353 | |
| -1 | 5,433,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 103 | 107 | 493 | 1,751 | 1,819 | 2,987 | 3,103 | 11,021 | 50,779 | 52,751 | 187,357 | 319,609 | 5,433,353 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -103 | -107 | -493 | -1,751 | -1,819 | -2,987 | -3,103 | -11,021 | -50,779 | -52,751 | -187,357 | -319,609 | -5,433,353 |
