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 4,632,385, 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 | 4,632,385 | |
| -1 | -4,632,385 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,632,385.
Example:
1 x 4,632,385 = 4,632,385
and
-1 x -4,632,385 = 4,632,385
Notice both answers equal 4,632,385
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,632,385 and divide it by 2:
4,632,385 ÷ 2 = 2,316,192.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,316,192.5 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 | 4,632,385 | |
| -1 | -4,632,385 |
Now, we try dividing 4,632,385 by 3:
4,632,385 ÷ 3 = 1,544,128.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,544,128.3333 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 | 4,632,385 | |
| -1 | -4,632,385 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,632,385 ÷ 4 = 1,158,096.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,158,096.25 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 | 4,632,385 | |
| -1 | 4,632,385 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 59 | 205 | 295 | 383 | 1,915 | 2,419 | 12,095 | 15,703 | 22,597 | 78,515 | 112,985 | 926,477 | 4,632,385 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -59 | -205 | -295 | -383 | -1,915 | -2,419 | -12,095 | -15,703 | -22,597 | -78,515 | -112,985 | -926,477 | -4,632,385 |
