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 4,734,779, 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 | 4,734,779 | |
| -1 | -4,734,779 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,734,779.
Example:
1 x 4,734,779 = 4,734,779
and
-1 x -4,734,779 = 4,734,779
Notice both answers equal 4,734,779
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,734,779 and divide it by 2:
4,734,779 ÷ 2 = 2,367,389.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,367,389.5 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 | 4,734,779 | |
| -1 | -4,734,779 |
Now, we try dividing 4,734,779 by 3:
4,734,779 ÷ 3 = 1,578,259.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,578,259.6667 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 | 4,734,779 | |
| -1 | -4,734,779 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,734,779 ÷ 4 = 1,183,694.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,183,694.75 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 | 4,734,779 | |
| -1 | 4,734,779 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 101 | 181 | 259 | 707 | 1,267 | 3,737 | 6,697 | 18,281 | 26,159 | 46,879 | 127,967 | 676,397 | 4,734,779 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -101 | -181 | -259 | -707 | -1,267 | -3,737 | -6,697 | -18,281 | -26,159 | -46,879 | -127,967 | -676,397 | -4,734,779 |
