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 4,719,535, 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 | 4,719,535 | |
| -1 | -4,719,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,719,535.
Example:
1 x 4,719,535 = 4,719,535
and
-1 x -4,719,535 = 4,719,535
Notice both answers equal 4,719,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,719,535 and divide it by 2:
4,719,535 ÷ 2 = 2,359,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,359,767.5 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 | 4,719,535 | |
| -1 | -4,719,535 |
Now, we try dividing 4,719,535 by 3:
4,719,535 ÷ 3 = 1,573,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,573,178.3333 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 | 4,719,535 | |
| -1 | -4,719,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,719,535 ÷ 4 = 1,179,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,179,883.75 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 | 4,719,535 | |
| -1 | 4,719,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 97 | 185 | 263 | 485 | 1,315 | 3,589 | 9,731 | 17,945 | 25,511 | 48,655 | 127,555 | 943,907 | 4,719,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -97 | -185 | -263 | -485 | -1,315 | -3,589 | -9,731 | -17,945 | -25,511 | -48,655 | -127,555 | -943,907 | -4,719,535 |
