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 5,056,513, 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 | 5,056,513 | |
| -1 | -5,056,513 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,056,513.
Example:
1 x 5,056,513 = 5,056,513
and
-1 x -5,056,513 = 5,056,513
Notice both answers equal 5,056,513
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,056,513 and divide it by 2:
5,056,513 ÷ 2 = 2,528,256.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,528,256.5 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 | 5,056,513 | |
| -1 | -5,056,513 |
Now, we try dividing 5,056,513 by 3:
5,056,513 ÷ 3 = 1,685,504.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,685,504.3333 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 | 5,056,513 | |
| -1 | -5,056,513 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,056,513 ÷ 4 = 1,264,128.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,264,128.25 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 | 5,056,513 | |
| -1 | 5,056,513 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 97 | 677 | 679 | 1,067 | 4,739 | 7,447 | 7,469 | 52,129 | 65,669 | 459,683 | 722,359 | 5,056,513 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -97 | -677 | -679 | -1,067 | -4,739 | -7,447 | -7,469 | -52,129 | -65,669 | -459,683 | -722,359 | -5,056,513 |
