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 4,374,331, 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 | 4,374,331 | |
| -1 | -4,374,331 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,374,331.
Example:
1 x 4,374,331 = 4,374,331
and
-1 x -4,374,331 = 4,374,331
Notice both answers equal 4,374,331
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,374,331 and divide it by 2:
4,374,331 ÷ 2 = 2,187,165.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,187,165.5 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 | 4,374,331 | |
| -1 | -4,374,331 |
Now, we try dividing 4,374,331 by 3:
4,374,331 ÷ 3 = 1,458,110.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,458,110.3333 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 | 4,374,331 | |
| -1 | -4,374,331 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,374,331 ÷ 4 = 1,093,582.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,093,582.75 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 | 4,374,331 | |
| -1 | 4,374,331 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 41 | 283 | 377 | 533 | 1,189 | 3,679 | 8,207 | 11,603 | 15,457 | 106,691 | 150,839 | 336,487 | 4,374,331 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -41 | -283 | -377 | -533 | -1,189 | -3,679 | -8,207 | -11,603 | -15,457 | -106,691 | -150,839 | -336,487 | -4,374,331 |
