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 4,370,735, 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 | 4,370,735 | |
| -1 | -4,370,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,370,735.
Example:
1 x 4,370,735 = 4,370,735
and
-1 x -4,370,735 = 4,370,735
Notice both answers equal 4,370,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,370,735 and divide it by 2:
4,370,735 ÷ 2 = 2,185,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,185,367.5 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 | 4,370,735 | |
| -1 | -4,370,735 |
Now, we try dividing 4,370,735 by 3:
4,370,735 ÷ 3 = 1,456,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,456,911.6667 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 | 4,370,735 | |
| -1 | -4,370,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,370,735 ÷ 4 = 1,092,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,092,683.75 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 | 4,370,735 | |
| -1 | 4,370,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 43 | 145 | 215 | 701 | 1,247 | 3,505 | 6,235 | 20,329 | 30,143 | 101,645 | 150,715 | 874,147 | 4,370,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -43 | -145 | -215 | -701 | -1,247 | -3,505 | -6,235 | -20,329 | -30,143 | -101,645 | -150,715 | -874,147 | -4,370,735 |
