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 4,731,415, 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 | 4,731,415 | |
| -1 | -4,731,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,731,415.
Example:
1 x 4,731,415 = 4,731,415
and
-1 x -4,731,415 = 4,731,415
Notice both answers equal 4,731,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,731,415 and divide it by 2:
4,731,415 ÷ 2 = 2,365,707.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,365,707.5 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 | 4,731,415 | |
| -1 | -4,731,415 |
Now, we try dividing 4,731,415 by 3:
4,731,415 ÷ 3 = 1,577,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,577,138.3333 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 | 4,731,415 | |
| -1 | -4,731,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,731,415 ÷ 4 = 1,182,853.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,182,853.75 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 | 4,731,415 | |
| -1 | 4,731,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 83 | 415 | 877 | 1,079 | 4,385 | 5,395 | 11,401 | 57,005 | 72,791 | 363,955 | 946,283 | 4,731,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -83 | -415 | -877 | -1,079 | -4,385 | -5,395 | -11,401 | -57,005 | -72,791 | -363,955 | -946,283 | -4,731,415 |
