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 4,009,135, 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 | 4,009,135 | |
| -1 | -4,009,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,009,135.
Example:
1 x 4,009,135 = 4,009,135
and
-1 x -4,009,135 = 4,009,135
Notice both answers equal 4,009,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,009,135 and divide it by 2:
4,009,135 ÷ 2 = 2,004,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,004,567.5 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 | 4,009,135 | |
| -1 | -4,009,135 |
Now, we try dividing 4,009,135 by 3:
4,009,135 ÷ 3 = 1,336,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,336,378.3333 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 | 4,009,135 | |
| -1 | -4,009,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,009,135 ÷ 4 = 1,002,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,002,283.75 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 | 4,009,135 | |
| -1 | 4,009,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 37 | 65 | 185 | 481 | 1,667 | 2,405 | 8,335 | 21,671 | 61,679 | 108,355 | 308,395 | 801,827 | 4,009,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -37 | -65 | -185 | -481 | -1,667 | -2,405 | -8,335 | -21,671 | -61,679 | -108,355 | -308,395 | -801,827 | -4,009,135 |
