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 4,679,353, 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 | 4,679,353 | |
| -1 | -4,679,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,679,353.
Example:
1 x 4,679,353 = 4,679,353
and
-1 x -4,679,353 = 4,679,353
Notice both answers equal 4,679,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,679,353 and divide it by 2:
4,679,353 ÷ 2 = 2,339,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,339,676.5 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 | 4,679,353 | |
| -1 | -4,679,353 |
Now, we try dividing 4,679,353 by 3:
4,679,353 ÷ 3 = 1,559,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,559,784.3333 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 | 4,679,353 | |
| -1 | -4,679,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,679,353 ÷ 4 = 1,169,838.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,169,838.25 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 | 4,679,353 | |
| -1 | 4,679,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 37 | 49 | 89 | 203 | 259 | 623 | 1,073 | 1,421 | 1,813 | 2,581 | 3,293 | 4,361 | 7,511 | 18,067 | 23,051 | 52,577 | 95,497 | 126,469 | 161,357 | 668,479 | 4,679,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -37 | -49 | -89 | -203 | -259 | -623 | -1,073 | -1,421 | -1,813 | -2,581 | -3,293 | -4,361 | -7,511 | -18,067 | -23,051 | -52,577 | -95,497 | -126,469 | -161,357 | -668,479 | -4,679,353 |
