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 4,259,135, 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 | 4,259,135 | |
| -1 | -4,259,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,259,135.
Example:
1 x 4,259,135 = 4,259,135
and
-1 x -4,259,135 = 4,259,135
Notice both answers equal 4,259,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,259,135 and divide it by 2:
4,259,135 ÷ 2 = 2,129,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,129,567.5 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 | 4,259,135 | |
| -1 | -4,259,135 |
Now, we try dividing 4,259,135 by 3:
4,259,135 ÷ 3 = 1,419,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,419,711.6667 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 | 4,259,135 | |
| -1 | -4,259,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,259,135 ÷ 4 = 1,064,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,064,783.75 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 | 4,259,135 | |
| -1 | 4,259,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 107 | 419 | 535 | 2,033 | 2,095 | 7,961 | 10,165 | 39,805 | 44,833 | 224,165 | 851,827 | 4,259,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -107 | -419 | -535 | -2,033 | -2,095 | -7,961 | -10,165 | -39,805 | -44,833 | -224,165 | -851,827 | -4,259,135 |
