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 4,629,163, 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 | 4,629,163 | |
| -1 | -4,629,163 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,629,163.
Example:
1 x 4,629,163 = 4,629,163
and
-1 x -4,629,163 = 4,629,163
Notice both answers equal 4,629,163
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,629,163 and divide it by 2:
4,629,163 ÷ 2 = 2,314,581.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,314,581.5 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 | 4,629,163 | |
| -1 | -4,629,163 |
Now, we try dividing 4,629,163 by 3:
4,629,163 ÷ 3 = 1,543,054.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,543,054.3333 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 | 4,629,163 | |
| -1 | -4,629,163 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,629,163 ÷ 4 = 1,157,290.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,157,290.75 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 | 4,629,163 | |
| -1 | 4,629,163 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 79 | 553 | 761 | 869 | 5,327 | 6,083 | 8,371 | 58,597 | 60,119 | 420,833 | 661,309 | 4,629,163 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -79 | -553 | -761 | -869 | -5,327 | -6,083 | -8,371 | -58,597 | -60,119 | -420,833 | -661,309 | -4,629,163 |
