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 4,725,547, 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 | 4,725,547 | |
| -1 | -4,725,547 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,725,547.
Example:
1 x 4,725,547 = 4,725,547
and
-1 x -4,725,547 = 4,725,547
Notice both answers equal 4,725,547
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,725,547 and divide it by 2:
4,725,547 ÷ 2 = 2,362,773.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,362,773.5 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 | 4,725,547 | |
| -1 | -4,725,547 |
Now, we try dividing 4,725,547 by 3:
4,725,547 ÷ 3 = 1,575,182.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,575,182.3333 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 | 4,725,547 | |
| -1 | -4,725,547 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,725,547 ÷ 4 = 1,181,386.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,181,386.75 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 | 4,725,547 | |
| -1 | 4,725,547 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 71 | 113 | 589 | 1,349 | 2,147 | 2,201 | 3,503 | 8,023 | 41,819 | 66,557 | 152,437 | 248,713 | 4,725,547 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -71 | -113 | -589 | -1,349 | -2,147 | -2,201 | -3,503 | -8,023 | -41,819 | -66,557 | -152,437 | -248,713 | -4,725,547 |
