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 4,117,451, 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 | 4,117,451 | |
| -1 | -4,117,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,117,451.
Example:
1 x 4,117,451 = 4,117,451
and
-1 x -4,117,451 = 4,117,451
Notice both answers equal 4,117,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,117,451 and divide it by 2:
4,117,451 ÷ 2 = 2,058,725.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,058,725.5 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 | 4,117,451 | |
| -1 | -4,117,451 |
Now, we try dividing 4,117,451 by 3:
4,117,451 ÷ 3 = 1,372,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,372,483.6667 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 | 4,117,451 | |
| -1 | -4,117,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,117,451 ÷ 4 = 1,029,362.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,029,362.75 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 | 4,117,451 | |
| -1 | 4,117,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 31 | 221 | 403 | 527 | 601 | 6,851 | 7,813 | 10,217 | 18,631 | 132,821 | 242,203 | 316,727 | 4,117,451 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -31 | -221 | -403 | -527 | -601 | -6,851 | -7,813 | -10,217 | -18,631 | -132,821 | -242,203 | -316,727 | -4,117,451 |
