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 4,195,243, 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 | 4,195,243 | |
| -1 | -4,195,243 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,195,243.
Example:
1 x 4,195,243 = 4,195,243
and
-1 x -4,195,243 = 4,195,243
Notice both answers equal 4,195,243
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,195,243 and divide it by 2:
4,195,243 ÷ 2 = 2,097,621.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,097,621.5 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 | 4,195,243 | |
| -1 | -4,195,243 |
Now, we try dividing 4,195,243 by 3:
4,195,243 ÷ 3 = 1,398,414.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,398,414.3333 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 | 4,195,243 | |
| -1 | -4,195,243 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,195,243 ÷ 4 = 1,048,810.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,048,810.75 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 | 4,195,243 | |
| -1 | 4,195,243 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 41 | 221 | 463 | 533 | 697 | 6,019 | 7,871 | 9,061 | 18,983 | 102,323 | 246,779 | 322,711 | 4,195,243 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -41 | -221 | -463 | -533 | -697 | -6,019 | -7,871 | -9,061 | -18,983 | -102,323 | -246,779 | -322,711 | -4,195,243 |
