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 4,283,303, 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 | 4,283,303 | |
| -1 | -4,283,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,283,303.
Example:
1 x 4,283,303 = 4,283,303
and
-1 x -4,283,303 = 4,283,303
Notice both answers equal 4,283,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,283,303 and divide it by 2:
4,283,303 ÷ 2 = 2,141,651.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,141,651.5 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 | 4,283,303 | |
| -1 | -4,283,303 |
Now, we try dividing 4,283,303 by 3:
4,283,303 ÷ 3 = 1,427,767.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,427,767.6667 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 | 4,283,303 | |
| -1 | -4,283,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,283,303 ÷ 4 = 1,070,825.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,070,825.75 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 | 4,283,303 | |
| -1 | 4,283,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 89 | 149 | 323 | 1,513 | 1,691 | 2,533 | 2,831 | 13,261 | 28,747 | 48,127 | 225,437 | 251,959 | 4,283,303 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -89 | -149 | -323 | -1,513 | -1,691 | -2,533 | -2,831 | -13,261 | -28,747 | -48,127 | -225,437 | -251,959 | -4,283,303 |
