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 4,060,105, 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 | 4,060,105 | |
| -1 | -4,060,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,060,105.
Example:
1 x 4,060,105 = 4,060,105
and
-1 x -4,060,105 = 4,060,105
Notice both answers equal 4,060,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,060,105 and divide it by 2:
4,060,105 ÷ 2 = 2,030,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,030,052.5 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 | 4,060,105 | |
| -1 | -4,060,105 |
Now, we try dividing 4,060,105 by 3:
4,060,105 ÷ 3 = 1,353,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,353,368.3333 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 | 4,060,105 | |
| -1 | -4,060,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,060,105 ÷ 4 = 1,015,026.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,015,026.25 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 | 4,060,105 | |
| -1 | 4,060,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 311 | 373 | 1,555 | 1,865 | 2,177 | 2,611 | 10,885 | 13,055 | 116,003 | 580,015 | 812,021 | 4,060,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -311 | -373 | -1,555 | -1,865 | -2,177 | -2,611 | -10,885 | -13,055 | -116,003 | -580,015 | -812,021 | -4,060,105 |
