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 4,725,851, 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 | 4,725,851 | |
| -1 | -4,725,851 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,725,851.
Example:
1 x 4,725,851 = 4,725,851
and
-1 x -4,725,851 = 4,725,851
Notice both answers equal 4,725,851
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,725,851 and divide it by 2:
4,725,851 ÷ 2 = 2,362,925.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,362,925.5 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 | 4,725,851 | |
| -1 | -4,725,851 |
Now, we try dividing 4,725,851 by 3:
4,725,851 ÷ 3 = 1,575,283.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,575,283.6667 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 | 4,725,851 | |
| -1 | -4,725,851 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,725,851 ÷ 4 = 1,181,462.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,181,462.75 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 | 4,725,851 | |
| -1 | 4,725,851 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 53 | 247 | 361 | 689 | 1,007 | 4,693 | 6,859 | 13,091 | 19,133 | 89,167 | 248,729 | 363,527 | 4,725,851 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -53 | -247 | -361 | -689 | -1,007 | -4,693 | -6,859 | -13,091 | -19,133 | -89,167 | -248,729 | -363,527 | -4,725,851 |
