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 4,050,235, 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 | 4,050,235 | |
| -1 | -4,050,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,050,235.
Example:
1 x 4,050,235 = 4,050,235
and
-1 x -4,050,235 = 4,050,235
Notice both answers equal 4,050,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,050,235 and divide it by 2:
4,050,235 ÷ 2 = 2,025,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,025,117.5 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 | 4,050,235 | |
| -1 | -4,050,235 |
Now, we try dividing 4,050,235 by 3:
4,050,235 ÷ 3 = 1,350,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,350,078.3333 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 | 4,050,235 | |
| -1 | -4,050,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,050,235 ÷ 4 = 1,012,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,012,558.75 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 | 4,050,235 | |
| -1 | 4,050,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 97 | 485 | 679 | 1,193 | 3,395 | 5,965 | 8,351 | 41,755 | 115,721 | 578,605 | 810,047 | 4,050,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -97 | -485 | -679 | -1,193 | -3,395 | -5,965 | -8,351 | -41,755 | -115,721 | -578,605 | -810,047 | -4,050,235 |
