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 4,320,941, 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 | 4,320,941 | |
| -1 | -4,320,941 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,320,941.
Example:
1 x 4,320,941 = 4,320,941
and
-1 x -4,320,941 = 4,320,941
Notice both answers equal 4,320,941
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,320,941 and divide it by 2:
4,320,941 ÷ 2 = 2,160,470.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,160,470.5 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 | 4,320,941 | |
| -1 | -4,320,941 |
Now, we try dividing 4,320,941 by 3:
4,320,941 ÷ 3 = 1,440,313.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,440,313.6667 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 | 4,320,941 | |
| -1 | -4,320,941 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,320,941 ÷ 4 = 1,080,235.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,080,235.25 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 | 4,320,941 | |
| -1 | 4,320,941 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 43 | 257 | 391 | 731 | 989 | 4,369 | 5,911 | 11,051 | 16,813 | 100,487 | 187,867 | 254,173 | 4,320,941 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -43 | -257 | -391 | -731 | -989 | -4,369 | -5,911 | -11,051 | -16,813 | -100,487 | -187,867 | -254,173 | -4,320,941 |
