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 4,376,323, 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 | 4,376,323 | |
| -1 | -4,376,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,376,323.
Example:
1 x 4,376,323 = 4,376,323
and
-1 x -4,376,323 = 4,376,323
Notice both answers equal 4,376,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,376,323 and divide it by 2:
4,376,323 ÷ 2 = 2,188,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,188,161.5 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 | 4,376,323 | |
| -1 | -4,376,323 |
Now, we try dividing 4,376,323 by 3:
4,376,323 ÷ 3 = 1,458,774.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,458,774.3333 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 | 4,376,323 | |
| -1 | -4,376,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,376,323 ÷ 4 = 1,094,080.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,094,080.75 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 | 4,376,323 | |
| -1 | 4,376,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 61 | 259 | 277 | 427 | 1,939 | 2,257 | 10,249 | 15,799 | 16,897 | 71,743 | 118,279 | 625,189 | 4,376,323 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -61 | -259 | -277 | -427 | -1,939 | -2,257 | -10,249 | -15,799 | -16,897 | -71,743 | -118,279 | -625,189 | -4,376,323 |
