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 4,132,345, 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 | 4,132,345 | |
| -1 | -4,132,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,132,345.
Example:
1 x 4,132,345 = 4,132,345
and
-1 x -4,132,345 = 4,132,345
Notice both answers equal 4,132,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,132,345 and divide it by 2:
4,132,345 ÷ 2 = 2,066,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,066,172.5 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 | 4,132,345 | |
| -1 | -4,132,345 |
Now, we try dividing 4,132,345 by 3:
4,132,345 ÷ 3 = 1,377,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,377,448.3333 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 | 4,132,345 | |
| -1 | -4,132,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,132,345 ÷ 4 = 1,033,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,033,086.25 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 | 4,132,345 | |
| -1 | 4,132,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 3,191 | 15,955 | 22,337 | 111,685 | 118,067 | 590,335 | 826,469 | 4,132,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -3,191 | -15,955 | -22,337 | -111,685 | -118,067 | -590,335 | -826,469 | -4,132,345 |
