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 4,214,483, 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 | 4,214,483 | |
| -1 | -4,214,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,214,483.
Example:
1 x 4,214,483 = 4,214,483
and
-1 x -4,214,483 = 4,214,483
Notice both answers equal 4,214,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,214,483 and divide it by 2:
4,214,483 ÷ 2 = 2,107,241.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,107,241.5 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 | 4,214,483 | |
| -1 | -4,214,483 |
Now, we try dividing 4,214,483 by 3:
4,214,483 ÷ 3 = 1,404,827.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,404,827.6667 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 | 4,214,483 | |
| -1 | -4,214,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,214,483 ÷ 4 = 1,053,620.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,053,620.75 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 | 4,214,483 | |
| -1 | 4,214,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 377 | 1,597 | 2,639 | 11,179 | 20,761 | 46,313 | 145,327 | 324,191 | 602,069 | 4,214,483 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -377 | -1,597 | -2,639 | -11,179 | -20,761 | -46,313 | -145,327 | -324,191 | -602,069 | -4,214,483 |
