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 4,343,129, 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 | 4,343,129 | |
| -1 | -4,343,129 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,343,129.
Example:
1 x 4,343,129 = 4,343,129
and
-1 x -4,343,129 = 4,343,129
Notice both answers equal 4,343,129
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,343,129 and divide it by 2:
4,343,129 ÷ 2 = 2,171,564.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,171,564.5 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 | 4,343,129 | |
| -1 | -4,343,129 |
Now, we try dividing 4,343,129 by 3:
4,343,129 ÷ 3 = 1,447,709.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,447,709.6667 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 | 4,343,129 | |
| -1 | -4,343,129 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,343,129 ÷ 4 = 1,085,782.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,085,782.25 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 | 4,343,129 | |
| -1 | 4,343,129 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 47 | 301 | 307 | 329 | 2,021 | 2,149 | 13,201 | 14,147 | 14,429 | 92,407 | 101,003 | 620,447 | 4,343,129 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -47 | -301 | -307 | -329 | -2,021 | -2,149 | -13,201 | -14,147 | -14,429 | -92,407 | -101,003 | -620,447 | -4,343,129 |
