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 4,368,539, 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 | 4,368,539 | |
| -1 | -4,368,539 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,368,539.
Example:
1 x 4,368,539 = 4,368,539
and
-1 x -4,368,539 = 4,368,539
Notice both answers equal 4,368,539
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,368,539 and divide it by 2:
4,368,539 ÷ 2 = 2,184,269.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,184,269.5 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 | 4,368,539 | |
| -1 | -4,368,539 |
Now, we try dividing 4,368,539 by 3:
4,368,539 ÷ 3 = 1,456,179.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,456,179.6667 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 | 4,368,539 | |
| -1 | -4,368,539 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,368,539 ÷ 4 = 1,092,134.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,092,134.75 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 | 4,368,539 | |
| -1 | 4,368,539 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 83 | 103 | 511 | 581 | 721 | 6,059 | 7,519 | 8,549 | 42,413 | 52,633 | 59,843 | 624,077 | 4,368,539 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -83 | -103 | -511 | -581 | -721 | -6,059 | -7,519 | -8,549 | -42,413 | -52,633 | -59,843 | -624,077 | -4,368,539 |
