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 4,730,297, 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 | 4,730,297 | |
| -1 | -4,730,297 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,730,297.
Example:
1 x 4,730,297 = 4,730,297
and
-1 x -4,730,297 = 4,730,297
Notice both answers equal 4,730,297
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,730,297 and divide it by 2:
4,730,297 ÷ 2 = 2,365,148.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,365,148.5 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 | 4,730,297 | |
| -1 | -4,730,297 |
Now, we try dividing 4,730,297 by 3:
4,730,297 ÷ 3 = 1,576,765.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,576,765.6667 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 | 4,730,297 | |
| -1 | -4,730,297 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,730,297 ÷ 4 = 1,182,574.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,182,574.25 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 | 4,730,297 | |
| -1 | 4,730,297 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 19 | 143 | 209 | 247 | 1,741 | 2,717 | 19,151 | 22,633 | 33,079 | 248,963 | 363,869 | 430,027 | 4,730,297 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -19 | -143 | -209 | -247 | -1,741 | -2,717 | -19,151 | -22,633 | -33,079 | -248,963 | -363,869 | -430,027 | -4,730,297 |
