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 4,358,263, 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 | 4,358,263 | |
| -1 | -4,358,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,358,263.
Example:
1 x 4,358,263 = 4,358,263
and
-1 x -4,358,263 = 4,358,263
Notice both answers equal 4,358,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,358,263 and divide it by 2:
4,358,263 ÷ 2 = 2,179,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,179,131.5 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 | 4,358,263 | |
| -1 | -4,358,263 |
Now, we try dividing 4,358,263 by 3:
4,358,263 ÷ 3 = 1,452,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,452,754.3333 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 | 4,358,263 | |
| -1 | -4,358,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,358,263 ÷ 4 = 1,089,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,089,565.75 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 | 4,358,263 | |
| -1 | 4,358,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 47 | 91 | 329 | 611 | 1,019 | 4,277 | 7,133 | 13,247 | 47,893 | 92,729 | 335,251 | 622,609 | 4,358,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -47 | -91 | -329 | -611 | -1,019 | -4,277 | -7,133 | -13,247 | -47,893 | -92,729 | -335,251 | -622,609 | -4,358,263 |
