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 4,677,635, 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 | 4,677,635 | |
| -1 | -4,677,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,677,635.
Example:
1 x 4,677,635 = 4,677,635
and
-1 x -4,677,635 = 4,677,635
Notice both answers equal 4,677,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,677,635 and divide it by 2:
4,677,635 ÷ 2 = 2,338,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,338,817.5 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 | 4,677,635 | |
| -1 | -4,677,635 |
Now, we try dividing 4,677,635 by 3:
4,677,635 ÷ 3 = 1,559,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,559,211.6667 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 | 4,677,635 | |
| -1 | -4,677,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,677,635 ÷ 4 = 1,169,408.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,169,408.75 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 | 4,677,635 | |
| -1 | 4,677,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 113 | 487 | 565 | 1,921 | 2,435 | 8,279 | 9,605 | 41,395 | 55,031 | 275,155 | 935,527 | 4,677,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -113 | -487 | -565 | -1,921 | -2,435 | -8,279 | -9,605 | -41,395 | -55,031 | -275,155 | -935,527 | -4,677,635 |
