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 5,517,083, 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 | 5,517,083 | |
| -1 | -5,517,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,517,083.
Example:
1 x 5,517,083 = 5,517,083
and
-1 x -5,517,083 = 5,517,083
Notice both answers equal 5,517,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,517,083 and divide it by 2:
5,517,083 ÷ 2 = 2,758,541.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,758,541.5 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 | 5,517,083 | |
| -1 | -5,517,083 |
Now, we try dividing 5,517,083 by 3:
5,517,083 ÷ 3 = 1,839,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,839,027.6667 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 | 5,517,083 | |
| -1 | -5,517,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,517,083 ÷ 4 = 1,379,270.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,379,270.75 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 | 5,517,083 | |
| -1 | 5,517,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 41 | 143 | 451 | 533 | 941 | 5,863 | 10,351 | 12,233 | 38,581 | 134,563 | 424,391 | 501,553 | 5,517,083 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -41 | -143 | -451 | -533 | -941 | -5,863 | -10,351 | -12,233 | -38,581 | -134,563 | -424,391 | -501,553 | -5,517,083 |
