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 5,451,523, 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 | 5,451,523 | |
| -1 | -5,451,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,451,523.
Example:
1 x 5,451,523 = 5,451,523
and
-1 x -5,451,523 = 5,451,523
Notice both answers equal 5,451,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,451,523 and divide it by 2:
5,451,523 ÷ 2 = 2,725,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,725,761.5 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 | 5,451,523 | |
| -1 | -5,451,523 |
Now, we try dividing 5,451,523 by 3:
5,451,523 ÷ 3 = 1,817,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,817,174.3333 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 | 5,451,523 | |
| -1 | -5,451,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,451,523 ÷ 4 = 1,362,880.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,362,880.75 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 | 5,451,523 | |
| -1 | 5,451,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 83 | 581 | 853 | 913 | 5,971 | 6,391 | 9,383 | 65,681 | 70,799 | 495,593 | 778,789 | 5,451,523 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -83 | -581 | -853 | -913 | -5,971 | -6,391 | -9,383 | -65,681 | -70,799 | -495,593 | -778,789 | -5,451,523 |
