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 4,610,749, 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 | 4,610,749 | |
| -1 | -4,610,749 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,610,749.
Example:
1 x 4,610,749 = 4,610,749
and
-1 x -4,610,749 = 4,610,749
Notice both answers equal 4,610,749
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,610,749 and divide it by 2:
4,610,749 ÷ 2 = 2,305,374.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,305,374.5 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 | 4,610,749 | |
| -1 | -4,610,749 |
Now, we try dividing 4,610,749 by 3:
4,610,749 ÷ 3 = 1,536,916.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,536,916.3333 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 | 4,610,749 | |
| -1 | -4,610,749 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,610,749 ÷ 4 = 1,152,687.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,152,687.25 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 | 4,610,749 | |
| -1 | 4,610,749 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 19 | 143 | 209 | 247 | 1,697 | 2,717 | 18,667 | 22,061 | 32,243 | 242,671 | 354,673 | 419,159 | 4,610,749 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -19 | -143 | -209 | -247 | -1,697 | -2,717 | -18,667 | -22,061 | -32,243 | -242,671 | -354,673 | -419,159 | -4,610,749 |
