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 4,323,715, 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 | 4,323,715 | |
| -1 | -4,323,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,323,715.
Example:
1 x 4,323,715 = 4,323,715
and
-1 x -4,323,715 = 4,323,715
Notice both answers equal 4,323,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,323,715 and divide it by 2:
4,323,715 ÷ 2 = 2,161,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,161,857.5 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 | 4,323,715 | |
| -1 | -4,323,715 |
Now, we try dividing 4,323,715 by 3:
4,323,715 ÷ 3 = 1,441,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,441,238.3333 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 | 4,323,715 | |
| -1 | -4,323,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,323,715 ÷ 4 = 1,080,928.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,080,928.75 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 | 4,323,715 | |
| -1 | 4,323,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 127 | 619 | 635 | 1,397 | 3,095 | 6,809 | 6,985 | 34,045 | 78,613 | 393,065 | 864,743 | 4,323,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -127 | -619 | -635 | -1,397 | -3,095 | -6,809 | -6,985 | -34,045 | -78,613 | -393,065 | -864,743 | -4,323,715 |
