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 4,372,081, 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 | 4,372,081 | |
| -1 | -4,372,081 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,372,081.
Example:
1 x 4,372,081 = 4,372,081
and
-1 x -4,372,081 = 4,372,081
Notice both answers equal 4,372,081
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,372,081 and divide it by 2:
4,372,081 ÷ 2 = 2,186,040.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,186,040.5 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 | 4,372,081 | |
| -1 | -4,372,081 |
Now, we try dividing 4,372,081 by 3:
4,372,081 ÷ 3 = 1,457,360.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,457,360.3333 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 | 4,372,081 | |
| -1 | -4,372,081 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,372,081 ÷ 4 = 1,093,020.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,093,020.25 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 | 4,372,081 | |
| -1 | 4,372,081 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 97 | 137 | 329 | 679 | 959 | 4,559 | 6,439 | 13,289 | 31,913 | 45,073 | 93,023 | 624,583 | 4,372,081 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -97 | -137 | -329 | -679 | -959 | -4,559 | -6,439 | -13,289 | -31,913 | -45,073 | -93,023 | -624,583 | -4,372,081 |
