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 4,053,301, 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 | 4,053,301 | |
| -1 | -4,053,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,053,301.
Example:
1 x 4,053,301 = 4,053,301
and
-1 x -4,053,301 = 4,053,301
Notice both answers equal 4,053,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,053,301 and divide it by 2:
4,053,301 ÷ 2 = 2,026,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,026,650.5 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 | 4,053,301 | |
| -1 | -4,053,301 |
Now, we try dividing 4,053,301 by 3:
4,053,301 ÷ 3 = 1,351,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,351,100.3333 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 | 4,053,301 | |
| -1 | -4,053,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,053,301 ÷ 4 = 1,013,325.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,013,325.25 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 | 4,053,301 | |
| -1 | 4,053,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 41 | 203 | 287 | 487 | 1,189 | 3,409 | 8,323 | 14,123 | 19,967 | 98,861 | 139,769 | 579,043 | 4,053,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -41 | -203 | -287 | -487 | -1,189 | -3,409 | -8,323 | -14,123 | -19,967 | -98,861 | -139,769 | -579,043 | -4,053,301 |
