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 4,128,635, 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 | 4,128,635 | |
| -1 | -4,128,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,128,635.
Example:
1 x 4,128,635 = 4,128,635
and
-1 x -4,128,635 = 4,128,635
Notice both answers equal 4,128,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,128,635 and divide it by 2:
4,128,635 ÷ 2 = 2,064,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,064,317.5 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 | 4,128,635 | |
| -1 | -4,128,635 |
Now, we try dividing 4,128,635 by 3:
4,128,635 ÷ 3 = 1,376,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,376,211.6667 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 | 4,128,635 | |
| -1 | -4,128,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,128,635 ÷ 4 = 1,032,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,032,158.75 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 | 4,128,635 | |
| -1 | 4,128,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 179 | 659 | 895 | 1,253 | 3,295 | 4,613 | 6,265 | 23,065 | 117,961 | 589,805 | 825,727 | 4,128,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -179 | -659 | -895 | -1,253 | -3,295 | -4,613 | -6,265 | -23,065 | -117,961 | -589,805 | -825,727 | -4,128,635 |
