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 5,556,103, 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 | 5,556,103 | |
| -1 | -5,556,103 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,556,103.
Example:
1 x 5,556,103 = 5,556,103
and
-1 x -5,556,103 = 5,556,103
Notice both answers equal 5,556,103
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,556,103 and divide it by 2:
5,556,103 ÷ 2 = 2,778,051.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,778,051.5 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 | 5,556,103 | |
| -1 | -5,556,103 |
Now, we try dividing 5,556,103 by 3:
5,556,103 ÷ 3 = 1,852,034.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,852,034.3333 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 | 5,556,103 | |
| -1 | -5,556,103 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,556,103 ÷ 4 = 1,389,025.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,389,025.75 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 | 5,556,103 | |
| -1 | 5,556,103 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 83 | 131 | 511 | 581 | 917 | 6,059 | 9,563 | 10,873 | 42,413 | 66,941 | 76,111 | 793,729 | 5,556,103 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -83 | -131 | -511 | -581 | -917 | -6,059 | -9,563 | -10,873 | -42,413 | -66,941 | -76,111 | -793,729 | -5,556,103 |
