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 4,164,083, 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 | 4,164,083 | |
| -1 | -4,164,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,164,083.
Example:
1 x 4,164,083 = 4,164,083
and
-1 x -4,164,083 = 4,164,083
Notice both answers equal 4,164,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,164,083 and divide it by 2:
4,164,083 ÷ 2 = 2,082,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,082,041.5 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 | 4,164,083 | |
| -1 | -4,164,083 |
Now, we try dividing 4,164,083 by 3:
4,164,083 ÷ 3 = 1,388,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,388,027.6667 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 | 4,164,083 | |
| -1 | -4,164,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,164,083 ÷ 4 = 1,041,020.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,041,020.75 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 | 4,164,083 | |
| -1 | 4,164,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 41 | 77 | 287 | 451 | 1,319 | 3,157 | 9,233 | 14,509 | 54,079 | 101,563 | 378,553 | 594,869 | 4,164,083 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -41 | -77 | -287 | -451 | -1,319 | -3,157 | -9,233 | -14,509 | -54,079 | -101,563 | -378,553 | -594,869 | -4,164,083 |
