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 4,621,463, 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 | 4,621,463 | |
| -1 | -4,621,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,621,463.
Example:
1 x 4,621,463 = 4,621,463
and
-1 x -4,621,463 = 4,621,463
Notice both answers equal 4,621,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,621,463 and divide it by 2:
4,621,463 ÷ 2 = 2,310,731.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,310,731.5 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 | 4,621,463 | |
| -1 | -4,621,463 |
Now, we try dividing 4,621,463 by 3:
4,621,463 ÷ 3 = 1,540,487.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,540,487.6667 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 | 4,621,463 | |
| -1 | -4,621,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,621,463 ÷ 4 = 1,155,365.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,155,365.75 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 | 4,621,463 | |
| -1 | 4,621,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 47 | 77 | 329 | 517 | 1,277 | 3,619 | 8,939 | 14,047 | 60,019 | 98,329 | 420,133 | 660,209 | 4,621,463 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -47 | -77 | -329 | -517 | -1,277 | -3,619 | -8,939 | -14,047 | -60,019 | -98,329 | -420,133 | -660,209 | -4,621,463 |
