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 4,633,205, 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 | 4,633,205 | |
| -1 | -4,633,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,633,205.
Example:
1 x 4,633,205 = 4,633,205
and
-1 x -4,633,205 = 4,633,205
Notice both answers equal 4,633,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,633,205 and divide it by 2:
4,633,205 ÷ 2 = 2,316,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,316,602.5 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 | 4,633,205 | |
| -1 | -4,633,205 |
Now, we try dividing 4,633,205 by 3:
4,633,205 ÷ 3 = 1,544,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,544,401.6667 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 | 4,633,205 | |
| -1 | -4,633,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,633,205 ÷ 4 = 1,158,301.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,158,301.25 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 | 4,633,205 | |
| -1 | 4,633,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 97 | 205 | 233 | 485 | 1,165 | 3,977 | 9,553 | 19,885 | 22,601 | 47,765 | 113,005 | 926,641 | 4,633,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -97 | -205 | -233 | -485 | -1,165 | -3,977 | -9,553 | -19,885 | -22,601 | -47,765 | -113,005 | -926,641 | -4,633,205 |
