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 4,051,729, 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 | 4,051,729 | |
| -1 | -4,051,729 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,051,729.
Example:
1 x 4,051,729 = 4,051,729
and
-1 x -4,051,729 = 4,051,729
Notice both answers equal 4,051,729
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,051,729 and divide it by 2:
4,051,729 ÷ 2 = 2,025,864.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,025,864.5 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 | 4,051,729 | |
| -1 | -4,051,729 |
Now, we try dividing 4,051,729 by 3:
4,051,729 ÷ 3 = 1,350,576.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,350,576.3333 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 | 4,051,729 | |
| -1 | -4,051,729 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,051,729 ÷ 4 = 1,012,932.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,012,932.25 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 | 4,051,729 | |
| -1 | 4,051,729 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 47 | 187 | 461 | 517 | 799 | 5,071 | 7,837 | 8,789 | 21,667 | 86,207 | 238,337 | 368,339 | 4,051,729 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -47 | -187 | -461 | -517 | -799 | -5,071 | -7,837 | -8,789 | -21,667 | -86,207 | -238,337 | -368,339 | -4,051,729 |
