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 4,074,037, 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 | 4,074,037 | |
| -1 | -4,074,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,074,037.
Example:
1 x 4,074,037 = 4,074,037
and
-1 x -4,074,037 = 4,074,037
Notice both answers equal 4,074,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,074,037 and divide it by 2:
4,074,037 ÷ 2 = 2,037,018.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,037,018.5 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 | 4,074,037 | |
| -1 | -4,074,037 |
Now, we try dividing 4,074,037 by 3:
4,074,037 ÷ 3 = 1,358,012.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,358,012.3333 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 | 4,074,037 | |
| -1 | -4,074,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,074,037 ÷ 4 = 1,018,509.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,018,509.25 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 | 4,074,037 | |
| -1 | 4,074,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 101 | 193 | 209 | 1,111 | 1,919 | 2,123 | 3,667 | 19,493 | 21,109 | 40,337 | 214,423 | 370,367 | 4,074,037 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -101 | -193 | -209 | -1,111 | -1,919 | -2,123 | -3,667 | -19,493 | -21,109 | -40,337 | -214,423 | -370,367 | -4,074,037 |
