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 4,053,533, 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 | 4,053,533 | |
| -1 | -4,053,533 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,053,533.
Example:
1 x 4,053,533 = 4,053,533
and
-1 x -4,053,533 = 4,053,533
Notice both answers equal 4,053,533
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,053,533 and divide it by 2:
4,053,533 ÷ 2 = 2,026,766.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,026,766.5 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 | 4,053,533 | |
| -1 | -4,053,533 |
Now, we try dividing 4,053,533 by 3:
4,053,533 ÷ 3 = 1,351,177.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,351,177.6667 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 | 4,053,533 | |
| -1 | -4,053,533 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,053,533 ÷ 4 = 1,013,383.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,013,383.25 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 | 4,053,533 | |
| -1 | 4,053,533 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 97 | 131 | 319 | 1,067 | 1,441 | 2,813 | 3,799 | 12,707 | 30,943 | 41,789 | 139,777 | 368,503 | 4,053,533 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -97 | -131 | -319 | -1,067 | -1,441 | -2,813 | -3,799 | -12,707 | -30,943 | -41,789 | -139,777 | -368,503 | -4,053,533 |
