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 4,714,375, 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 | 4,714,375 | |
| -1 | -4,714,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,714,375.
Example:
1 x 4,714,375 = 4,714,375
and
-1 x -4,714,375 = 4,714,375
Notice both answers equal 4,714,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,714,375 and divide it by 2:
4,714,375 ÷ 2 = 2,357,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,357,187.5 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 | 4,714,375 | |
| -1 | -4,714,375 |
Now, we try dividing 4,714,375 by 3:
4,714,375 ÷ 3 = 1,571,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,571,458.3333 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 | 4,714,375 | |
| -1 | -4,714,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,714,375 ÷ 4 = 1,178,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,178,593.75 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 | 4,714,375 | |
| -1 | 4,714,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 397 | 475 | 625 | 1,985 | 2,375 | 7,543 | 9,925 | 11,875 | 37,715 | 49,625 | 188,575 | 248,125 | 942,875 | 4,714,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -397 | -475 | -625 | -1,985 | -2,375 | -7,543 | -9,925 | -11,875 | -37,715 | -49,625 | -188,575 | -248,125 | -942,875 | -4,714,375 |
