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 4,689,295, 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 | 4,689,295 | |
| -1 | -4,689,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,689,295.
Example:
1 x 4,689,295 = 4,689,295
and
-1 x -4,689,295 = 4,689,295
Notice both answers equal 4,689,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,689,295 and divide it by 2:
4,689,295 ÷ 2 = 2,344,647.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,344,647.5 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 | 4,689,295 | |
| -1 | -4,689,295 |
Now, we try dividing 4,689,295 by 3:
4,689,295 ÷ 3 = 1,563,098.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,563,098.3333 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 | 4,689,295 | |
| -1 | -4,689,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,689,295 ÷ 4 = 1,172,323.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,172,323.75 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 | 4,689,295 | |
| -1 | 4,689,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 19 | 65 | 95 | 247 | 1,235 | 3,797 | 18,985 | 49,361 | 72,143 | 246,805 | 360,715 | 937,859 | 4,689,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -19 | -65 | -95 | -247 | -1,235 | -3,797 | -18,985 | -49,361 | -72,143 | -246,805 | -360,715 | -937,859 | -4,689,295 |
