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 4,342,135, 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 | 4,342,135 | |
| -1 | -4,342,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,342,135.
Example:
1 x 4,342,135 = 4,342,135
and
-1 x -4,342,135 = 4,342,135
Notice both answers equal 4,342,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,342,135 and divide it by 2:
4,342,135 ÷ 2 = 2,171,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,171,067.5 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 | 4,342,135 | |
| -1 | -4,342,135 |
Now, we try dividing 4,342,135 by 3:
4,342,135 ÷ 3 = 1,447,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,447,378.3333 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 | 4,342,135 | |
| -1 | -4,342,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,342,135 ÷ 4 = 1,085,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,085,533.75 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 | 4,342,135 | |
| -1 | 4,342,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 49 | 185 | 245 | 259 | 479 | 1,295 | 1,813 | 2,395 | 3,353 | 9,065 | 16,765 | 17,723 | 23,471 | 88,615 | 117,355 | 124,061 | 620,305 | 868,427 | 4,342,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -49 | -185 | -245 | -259 | -479 | -1,295 | -1,813 | -2,395 | -3,353 | -9,065 | -16,765 | -17,723 | -23,471 | -88,615 | -117,355 | -124,061 | -620,305 | -868,427 | -4,342,135 |
