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 4,171,349, 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 | 4,171,349 | |
| -1 | -4,171,349 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,171,349.
Example:
1 x 4,171,349 = 4,171,349
and
-1 x -4,171,349 = 4,171,349
Notice both answers equal 4,171,349
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,171,349 and divide it by 2:
4,171,349 ÷ 2 = 2,085,674.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,085,674.5 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 | 4,171,349 | |
| -1 | -4,171,349 |
Now, we try dividing 4,171,349 by 3:
4,171,349 ÷ 3 = 1,390,449.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,390,449.6667 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 | 4,171,349 | |
| -1 | -4,171,349 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,171,349 ÷ 4 = 1,042,837.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,042,837.25 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 | 4,171,349 | |
| -1 | 4,171,349 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 1,993 | 2,093 | 13,951 | 25,909 | 45,839 | 181,363 | 320,873 | 595,907 | 4,171,349 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -1,993 | -2,093 | -13,951 | -25,909 | -45,839 | -181,363 | -320,873 | -595,907 | -4,171,349 |
