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 4,263,923, 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 | 4,263,923 | |
| -1 | -4,263,923 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,263,923.
Example:
1 x 4,263,923 = 4,263,923
and
-1 x -4,263,923 = 4,263,923
Notice both answers equal 4,263,923
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,263,923 and divide it by 2:
4,263,923 ÷ 2 = 2,131,961.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,131,961.5 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 | 4,263,923 | |
| -1 | -4,263,923 |
Now, we try dividing 4,263,923 by 3:
4,263,923 ÷ 3 = 1,421,307.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,421,307.6667 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 | 4,263,923 | |
| -1 | -4,263,923 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,263,923 ÷ 4 = 1,065,980.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,065,980.75 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 | 4,263,923 | |
| -1 | 4,263,923 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 43 | 307 | 323 | 731 | 817 | 5,219 | 5,833 | 13,201 | 13,889 | 99,161 | 224,417 | 250,819 | 4,263,923 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -43 | -307 | -323 | -731 | -817 | -5,219 | -5,833 | -13,201 | -13,889 | -99,161 | -224,417 | -250,819 | -4,263,923 |
