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 4,085,809, 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 | 4,085,809 | |
| -1 | -4,085,809 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,085,809.
Example:
1 x 4,085,809 = 4,085,809
and
-1 x -4,085,809 = 4,085,809
Notice both answers equal 4,085,809
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,085,809 and divide it by 2:
4,085,809 ÷ 2 = 2,042,904.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,042,904.5 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 | 4,085,809 | |
| -1 | -4,085,809 |
Now, we try dividing 4,085,809 by 3:
4,085,809 ÷ 3 = 1,361,936.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,361,936.3333 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 | 4,085,809 | |
| -1 | -4,085,809 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,085,809 ÷ 4 = 1,021,452.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,021,452.25 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 | 4,085,809 | |
| -1 | 4,085,809 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 59 | 91 | 413 | 761 | 767 | 5,327 | 5,369 | 9,893 | 44,899 | 69,251 | 314,293 | 583,687 | 4,085,809 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -59 | -91 | -413 | -761 | -767 | -5,327 | -5,369 | -9,893 | -44,899 | -69,251 | -314,293 | -583,687 | -4,085,809 |
