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 4,620,715, 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 | 4,620,715 | |
| -1 | -4,620,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,620,715.
Example:
1 x 4,620,715 = 4,620,715
and
-1 x -4,620,715 = 4,620,715
Notice both answers equal 4,620,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,620,715 and divide it by 2:
4,620,715 ÷ 2 = 2,310,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,310,357.5 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 | 4,620,715 | |
| -1 | -4,620,715 |
Now, we try dividing 4,620,715 by 3:
4,620,715 ÷ 3 = 1,540,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,540,238.3333 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 | 4,620,715 | |
| -1 | -4,620,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,620,715 ÷ 4 = 1,155,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,155,178.75 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 | 4,620,715 | |
| -1 | 4,620,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 2,897 | 14,485 | 31,867 | 84,013 | 159,335 | 420,065 | 924,143 | 4,620,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -2,897 | -14,485 | -31,867 | -84,013 | -159,335 | -420,065 | -924,143 | -4,620,715 |
