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 4,156,355, 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 | 4,156,355 | |
| -1 | -4,156,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,156,355.
Example:
1 x 4,156,355 = 4,156,355
and
-1 x -4,156,355 = 4,156,355
Notice both answers equal 4,156,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,156,355 and divide it by 2:
4,156,355 ÷ 2 = 2,078,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,078,177.5 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 | 4,156,355 | |
| -1 | -4,156,355 |
Now, we try dividing 4,156,355 by 3:
4,156,355 ÷ 3 = 1,385,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,385,451.6667 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 | 4,156,355 | |
| -1 | -4,156,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,156,355 ÷ 4 = 1,039,088.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,039,088.75 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 | 4,156,355 | |
| -1 | 4,156,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 149 | 745 | 797 | 1,043 | 3,985 | 5,215 | 5,579 | 27,895 | 118,753 | 593,765 | 831,271 | 4,156,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -149 | -745 | -797 | -1,043 | -3,985 | -5,215 | -5,579 | -27,895 | -118,753 | -593,765 | -831,271 | -4,156,355 |
