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 4,711,567, 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 | 4,711,567 | |
| -1 | -4,711,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,711,567.
Example:
1 x 4,711,567 = 4,711,567
and
-1 x -4,711,567 = 4,711,567
Notice both answers equal 4,711,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,711,567 and divide it by 2:
4,711,567 ÷ 2 = 2,355,783.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,355,783.5 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 | 4,711,567 | |
| -1 | -4,711,567 |
Now, we try dividing 4,711,567 by 3:
4,711,567 ÷ 3 = 1,570,522.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,570,522.3333 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 | 4,711,567 | |
| -1 | -4,711,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,711,567 ÷ 4 = 1,177,891.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,177,891.75 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 | 4,711,567 | |
| -1 | 4,711,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 137 | 289 | 959 | 2,023 | 2,329 | 4,913 | 16,303 | 34,391 | 39,593 | 277,151 | 673,081 | 4,711,567 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -137 | -289 | -959 | -2,023 | -2,329 | -4,913 | -16,303 | -34,391 | -39,593 | -277,151 | -673,081 | -4,711,567 |
