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 4,700,375, 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 | 4,700,375 | |
| -1 | -4,700,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,700,375.
Example:
1 x 4,700,375 = 4,700,375
and
-1 x -4,700,375 = 4,700,375
Notice both answers equal 4,700,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,700,375 and divide it by 2:
4,700,375 ÷ 2 = 2,350,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,350,187.5 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 | 4,700,375 | |
| -1 | -4,700,375 |
Now, we try dividing 4,700,375 by 3:
4,700,375 ÷ 3 = 1,566,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,566,791.6667 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 | 4,700,375 | |
| -1 | -4,700,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,700,375 ÷ 4 = 1,175,093.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,175,093.75 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 | 4,700,375 | |
| -1 | 4,700,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 125 | 155 | 775 | 1,213 | 3,875 | 6,065 | 30,325 | 37,603 | 151,625 | 188,015 | 940,075 | 4,700,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -125 | -155 | -775 | -1,213 | -3,875 | -6,065 | -30,325 | -37,603 | -151,625 | -188,015 | -940,075 | -4,700,375 |
