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 4,168,927, 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 | 4,168,927 | |
| -1 | -4,168,927 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,168,927.
Example:
1 x 4,168,927 = 4,168,927
and
-1 x -4,168,927 = 4,168,927
Notice both answers equal 4,168,927
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,168,927 and divide it by 2:
4,168,927 ÷ 2 = 2,084,463.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,084,463.5 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 | 4,168,927 | |
| -1 | -4,168,927 |
Now, we try dividing 4,168,927 by 3:
4,168,927 ÷ 3 = 1,389,642.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,389,642.3333 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 | 4,168,927 | |
| -1 | -4,168,927 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,168,927 ÷ 4 = 1,042,231.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,042,231.75 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 | 4,168,927 | |
| -1 | 4,168,927 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 53 | 119 | 371 | 661 | 901 | 4,627 | 6,307 | 11,237 | 35,033 | 78,659 | 245,231 | 595,561 | 4,168,927 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -53 | -119 | -371 | -661 | -901 | -4,627 | -6,307 | -11,237 | -35,033 | -78,659 | -245,231 | -595,561 | -4,168,927 |
