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 4,658,753, 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 | 4,658,753 | |
| -1 | -4,658,753 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,658,753.
Example:
1 x 4,658,753 = 4,658,753
and
-1 x -4,658,753 = 4,658,753
Notice both answers equal 4,658,753
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,658,753 and divide it by 2:
4,658,753 ÷ 2 = 2,329,376.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,329,376.5 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 | 4,658,753 | |
| -1 | -4,658,753 |
Now, we try dividing 4,658,753 by 3:
4,658,753 ÷ 3 = 1,552,917.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,552,917.6667 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 | 4,658,753 | |
| -1 | -4,658,753 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,658,753 ÷ 4 = 1,164,688.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,164,688.25 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 | 4,658,753 | |
| -1 | 4,658,753 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 61 | 131 | 583 | 671 | 1,441 | 3,233 | 6,943 | 7,991 | 35,563 | 76,373 | 87,901 | 423,523 | 4,658,753 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -61 | -131 | -583 | -671 | -1,441 | -3,233 | -6,943 | -7,991 | -35,563 | -76,373 | -87,901 | -423,523 | -4,658,753 |
