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 4,718,935, 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 | 4,718,935 | |
| -1 | -4,718,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,718,935.
Example:
1 x 4,718,935 = 4,718,935
and
-1 x -4,718,935 = 4,718,935
Notice both answers equal 4,718,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,718,935 and divide it by 2:
4,718,935 ÷ 2 = 2,359,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,359,467.5 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 | 4,718,935 | |
| -1 | -4,718,935 |
Now, we try dividing 4,718,935 by 3:
4,718,935 ÷ 3 = 1,572,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,572,978.3333 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 | 4,718,935 | |
| -1 | -4,718,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,718,935 ÷ 4 = 1,179,733.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,179,733.75 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 | 4,718,935 | |
| -1 | 4,718,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 19 | 65 | 95 | 247 | 1,235 | 3,821 | 19,105 | 49,673 | 72,599 | 248,365 | 362,995 | 943,787 | 4,718,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -19 | -65 | -95 | -247 | -1,235 | -3,821 | -19,105 | -49,673 | -72,599 | -248,365 | -362,995 | -943,787 | -4,718,935 |
