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 4,621,085, 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 | 4,621,085 | |
| -1 | -4,621,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,621,085.
Example:
1 x 4,621,085 = 4,621,085
and
-1 x -4,621,085 = 4,621,085
Notice both answers equal 4,621,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,621,085 and divide it by 2:
4,621,085 ÷ 2 = 2,310,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,310,542.5 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 | 4,621,085 | |
| -1 | -4,621,085 |
Now, we try dividing 4,621,085 by 3:
4,621,085 ÷ 3 = 1,540,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,540,361.6667 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 | 4,621,085 | |
| -1 | -4,621,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,621,085 ÷ 4 = 1,155,271.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,155,271.25 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 | 4,621,085 | |
| -1 | 4,621,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 6,949 | 34,745 | 48,643 | 132,031 | 243,215 | 660,155 | 924,217 | 4,621,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -6,949 | -34,745 | -48,643 | -132,031 | -243,215 | -660,155 | -924,217 | -4,621,085 |
