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 4,374,965, 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 | 4,374,965 | |
| -1 | -4,374,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,374,965.
Example:
1 x 4,374,965 = 4,374,965
and
-1 x -4,374,965 = 4,374,965
Notice both answers equal 4,374,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,374,965 and divide it by 2:
4,374,965 ÷ 2 = 2,187,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,187,482.5 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 | 4,374,965 | |
| -1 | -4,374,965 |
Now, we try dividing 4,374,965 by 3:
4,374,965 ÷ 3 = 1,458,321.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,458,321.6667 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 | 4,374,965 | |
| -1 | -4,374,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,374,965 ÷ 4 = 1,093,741.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,093,741.25 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 | 4,374,965 | |
| -1 | 4,374,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 343 | 1,715 | 2,551 | 12,755 | 17,857 | 89,285 | 124,999 | 624,995 | 874,993 | 4,374,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -343 | -1,715 | -2,551 | -12,755 | -17,857 | -89,285 | -124,999 | -624,995 | -874,993 | -4,374,965 |
