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 4,166,743, 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 | 4,166,743 | |
| -1 | -4,166,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,166,743.
Example:
1 x 4,166,743 = 4,166,743
and
-1 x -4,166,743 = 4,166,743
Notice both answers equal 4,166,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,166,743 and divide it by 2:
4,166,743 ÷ 2 = 2,083,371.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,083,371.5 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 | 4,166,743 | |
| -1 | -4,166,743 |
Now, we try dividing 4,166,743 by 3:
4,166,743 ÷ 3 = 1,388,914.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,388,914.3333 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 | 4,166,743 | |
| -1 | -4,166,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,166,743 ÷ 4 = 1,041,685.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,041,685.75 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 | 4,166,743 | |
| -1 | 4,166,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 109 | 127 | 301 | 763 | 889 | 4,687 | 5,461 | 13,843 | 32,809 | 38,227 | 96,901 | 595,249 | 4,166,743 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -109 | -127 | -301 | -763 | -889 | -4,687 | -5,461 | -13,843 | -32,809 | -38,227 | -96,901 | -595,249 | -4,166,743 |
