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 4,362,571, 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 | 4,362,571 | |
| -1 | -4,362,571 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,362,571.
Example:
1 x 4,362,571 = 4,362,571
and
-1 x -4,362,571 = 4,362,571
Notice both answers equal 4,362,571
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,362,571 and divide it by 2:
4,362,571 ÷ 2 = 2,181,285.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,181,285.5 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 | 4,362,571 | |
| -1 | -4,362,571 |
Now, we try dividing 4,362,571 by 3:
4,362,571 ÷ 3 = 1,454,190.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,454,190.3333 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 | 4,362,571 | |
| -1 | -4,362,571 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,362,571 ÷ 4 = 1,090,642.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,090,642.75 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 | 4,362,571 | |
| -1 | 4,362,571 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 67 | 149 | 437 | 1,273 | 1,541 | 2,831 | 3,427 | 9,983 | 29,279 | 65,113 | 189,677 | 229,609 | 4,362,571 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -67 | -149 | -437 | -1,273 | -1,541 | -2,831 | -3,427 | -9,983 | -29,279 | -65,113 | -189,677 | -229,609 | -4,362,571 |
