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 4,253,165, 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 | 4,253,165 | |
| -1 | -4,253,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,253,165.
Example:
1 x 4,253,165 = 4,253,165
and
-1 x -4,253,165 = 4,253,165
Notice both answers equal 4,253,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,253,165 and divide it by 2:
4,253,165 ÷ 2 = 2,126,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,126,582.5 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 | 4,253,165 | |
| -1 | -4,253,165 |
Now, we try dividing 4,253,165 by 3:
4,253,165 ÷ 3 = 1,417,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,417,721.6667 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 | 4,253,165 | |
| -1 | -4,253,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,253,165 ÷ 4 = 1,063,291.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,063,291.25 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 | 4,253,165 | |
| -1 | 4,253,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 137 | 685 | 887 | 959 | 4,435 | 4,795 | 6,209 | 31,045 | 121,519 | 607,595 | 850,633 | 4,253,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -137 | -685 | -887 | -959 | -4,435 | -4,795 | -6,209 | -31,045 | -121,519 | -607,595 | -850,633 | -4,253,165 |
