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 4,664,405, 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 | 4,664,405 | |
| -1 | -4,664,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,664,405.
Example:
1 x 4,664,405 = 4,664,405
and
-1 x -4,664,405 = 4,664,405
Notice both answers equal 4,664,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,664,405 and divide it by 2:
4,664,405 ÷ 2 = 2,332,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,332,202.5 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 | 4,664,405 | |
| -1 | -4,664,405 |
Now, we try dividing 4,664,405 by 3:
4,664,405 ÷ 3 = 1,554,801.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,554,801.6667 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 | 4,664,405 | |
| -1 | -4,664,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,664,405 ÷ 4 = 1,166,101.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,166,101.25 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 | 4,664,405 | |
| -1 | 4,664,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 37 | 95 | 185 | 703 | 1,327 | 3,515 | 6,635 | 25,213 | 49,099 | 126,065 | 245,495 | 932,881 | 4,664,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -37 | -95 | -185 | -703 | -1,327 | -3,515 | -6,635 | -25,213 | -49,099 | -126,065 | -245,495 | -932,881 | -4,664,405 |
