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 4,001,333, 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 | 4,001,333 | |
| -1 | -4,001,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,001,333.
Example:
1 x 4,001,333 = 4,001,333
and
-1 x -4,001,333 = 4,001,333
Notice both answers equal 4,001,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,001,333 and divide it by 2:
4,001,333 ÷ 2 = 2,000,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,000,666.5 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 | 4,001,333 | |
| -1 | -4,001,333 |
Now, we try dividing 4,001,333 by 3:
4,001,333 ÷ 3 = 1,333,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,333,777.6667 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 | 4,001,333 | |
| -1 | -4,001,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,001,333 ÷ 4 = 1,000,333.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,000,333.25 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 | 4,001,333 | |
| -1 | 4,001,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 161 | 203 | 667 | 857 | 4,669 | 5,999 | 19,711 | 24,853 | 137,977 | 173,971 | 571,619 | 4,001,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -161 | -203 | -667 | -857 | -4,669 | -5,999 | -19,711 | -24,853 | -137,977 | -173,971 | -571,619 | -4,001,333 |
