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 4,271,813, 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 | 4,271,813 | |
| -1 | -4,271,813 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,271,813.
Example:
1 x 4,271,813 = 4,271,813
and
-1 x -4,271,813 = 4,271,813
Notice both answers equal 4,271,813
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,271,813 and divide it by 2:
4,271,813 ÷ 2 = 2,135,906.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,135,906.5 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 | 4,271,813 | |
| -1 | -4,271,813 |
Now, we try dividing 4,271,813 by 3:
4,271,813 ÷ 3 = 1,423,937.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,423,937.6667 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 | 4,271,813 | |
| -1 | -4,271,813 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,271,813 ÷ 4 = 1,067,953.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,067,953.25 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 | 4,271,813 | |
| -1 | 4,271,813 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 157 | 161 | 169 | 299 | 1,099 | 1,183 | 2,041 | 2,093 | 3,611 | 3,887 | 14,287 | 25,277 | 26,533 | 27,209 | 46,943 | 185,731 | 328,601 | 610,259 | 4,271,813 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -157 | -161 | -169 | -299 | -1,099 | -1,183 | -2,041 | -2,093 | -3,611 | -3,887 | -14,287 | -25,277 | -26,533 | -27,209 | -46,943 | -185,731 | -328,601 | -610,259 | -4,271,813 |
