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 4,069,477, 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 | 4,069,477 | |
| -1 | -4,069,477 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,069,477.
Example:
1 x 4,069,477 = 4,069,477
and
-1 x -4,069,477 = 4,069,477
Notice both answers equal 4,069,477
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,069,477 and divide it by 2:
4,069,477 ÷ 2 = 2,034,738.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,034,738.5 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 | 4,069,477 | |
| -1 | -4,069,477 |
Now, we try dividing 4,069,477 by 3:
4,069,477 ÷ 3 = 1,356,492.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,356,492.3333 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 | 4,069,477 | |
| -1 | -4,069,477 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,069,477 ÷ 4 = 1,017,369.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,017,369.25 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 | 4,069,477 | |
| -1 | 4,069,477 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 43 | 293 | 323 | 731 | 817 | 4,981 | 5,567 | 12,599 | 13,889 | 94,639 | 214,183 | 239,381 | 4,069,477 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -43 | -293 | -323 | -731 | -817 | -4,981 | -5,567 | -12,599 | -13,889 | -94,639 | -214,183 | -239,381 | -4,069,477 |
