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 4,693,931, 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 | 4,693,931 | |
| -1 | -4,693,931 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,693,931.
Example:
1 x 4,693,931 = 4,693,931
and
-1 x -4,693,931 = 4,693,931
Notice both answers equal 4,693,931
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,693,931 and divide it by 2:
4,693,931 ÷ 2 = 2,346,965.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,346,965.5 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 | 4,693,931 | |
| -1 | -4,693,931 |
Now, we try dividing 4,693,931 by 3:
4,693,931 ÷ 3 = 1,564,643.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,564,643.6667 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 | 4,693,931 | |
| -1 | -4,693,931 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,693,931 ÷ 4 = 1,173,482.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,173,482.75 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 | 4,693,931 | |
| -1 | 4,693,931 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 37 | 209 | 407 | 607 | 703 | 6,677 | 7,733 | 11,533 | 22,459 | 126,863 | 247,049 | 426,721 | 4,693,931 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -37 | -209 | -407 | -607 | -703 | -6,677 | -7,733 | -11,533 | -22,459 | -126,863 | -247,049 | -426,721 | -4,693,931 |
