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 4,303,145, 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 | 4,303,145 | |
| -1 | -4,303,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,303,145.
Example:
1 x 4,303,145 = 4,303,145
and
-1 x -4,303,145 = 4,303,145
Notice both answers equal 4,303,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,303,145 and divide it by 2:
4,303,145 ÷ 2 = 2,151,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,151,572.5 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 | 4,303,145 | |
| -1 | -4,303,145 |
Now, we try dividing 4,303,145 by 3:
4,303,145 ÷ 3 = 1,434,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,434,381.6667 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 | 4,303,145 | |
| -1 | -4,303,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,303,145 ÷ 4 = 1,075,786.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,075,786.25 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 | 4,303,145 | |
| -1 | 4,303,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 11,177 | 55,885 | 78,239 | 122,947 | 391,195 | 614,735 | 860,629 | 4,303,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -11,177 | -55,885 | -78,239 | -122,947 | -391,195 | -614,735 | -860,629 | -4,303,145 |
