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 4,493,797, 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 | 4,493,797 | |
| -1 | -4,493,797 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,493,797.
Example:
1 x 4,493,797 = 4,493,797
and
-1 x -4,493,797 = 4,493,797
Notice both answers equal 4,493,797
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,493,797 and divide it by 2:
4,493,797 ÷ 2 = 2,246,898.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,246,898.5 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 | 4,493,797 | |
| -1 | -4,493,797 |
Now, we try dividing 4,493,797 by 3:
4,493,797 ÷ 3 = 1,497,932.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,497,932.3333 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 | 4,493,797 | |
| -1 | -4,493,797 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,493,797 ÷ 4 = 1,123,449.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,123,449.25 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 | 4,493,797 | |
| -1 | 4,493,797 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 1,309 | 3,433 | 24,031 | 37,763 | 58,361 | 264,341 | 408,527 | 641,971 | 4,493,797 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -1,309 | -3,433 | -24,031 | -37,763 | -58,361 | -264,341 | -408,527 | -641,971 | -4,493,797 |
