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 4,543,097, 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 | 4,543,097 | |
| -1 | -4,543,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,543,097.
Example:
1 x 4,543,097 = 4,543,097
and
-1 x -4,543,097 = 4,543,097
Notice both answers equal 4,543,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,543,097 and divide it by 2:
4,543,097 ÷ 2 = 2,271,548.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,271,548.5 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 | 4,543,097 | |
| -1 | -4,543,097 |
Now, we try dividing 4,543,097 by 3:
4,543,097 ÷ 3 = 1,514,365.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,514,365.6667 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 | 4,543,097 | |
| -1 | -4,543,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,543,097 ÷ 4 = 1,135,774.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,135,774.25 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 | 4,543,097 | |
| -1 | 4,543,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 61 | 221 | 337 | 793 | 1,037 | 4,381 | 5,729 | 13,481 | 20,557 | 74,477 | 267,241 | 349,469 | 4,543,097 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -61 | -221 | -337 | -793 | -1,037 | -4,381 | -5,729 | -13,481 | -20,557 | -74,477 | -267,241 | -349,469 | -4,543,097 |
