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 4,103,239, 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 | 4,103,239 | |
| -1 | -4,103,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,103,239.
Example:
1 x 4,103,239 = 4,103,239
and
-1 x -4,103,239 = 4,103,239
Notice both answers equal 4,103,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,103,239 and divide it by 2:
4,103,239 ÷ 2 = 2,051,619.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,051,619.5 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 | 4,103,239 | |
| -1 | -4,103,239 |
Now, we try dividing 4,103,239 by 3:
4,103,239 ÷ 3 = 1,367,746.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,367,746.3333 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 | 4,103,239 | |
| -1 | -4,103,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,103,239 ÷ 4 = 1,025,809.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,025,809.75 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 | 4,103,239 | |
| -1 | 4,103,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 41 | 119 | 203 | 287 | 493 | 697 | 841 | 1,189 | 3,451 | 4,879 | 5,887 | 8,323 | 14,297 | 20,213 | 34,481 | 100,079 | 141,491 | 241,367 | 586,177 | 4,103,239 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -41 | -119 | -203 | -287 | -493 | -697 | -841 | -1,189 | -3,451 | -4,879 | -5,887 | -8,323 | -14,297 | -20,213 | -34,481 | -100,079 | -141,491 | -241,367 | -586,177 | -4,103,239 |
