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 4,735,861, 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 | 4,735,861 | |
| -1 | -4,735,861 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,735,861.
Example:
1 x 4,735,861 = 4,735,861
and
-1 x -4,735,861 = 4,735,861
Notice both answers equal 4,735,861
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,735,861 and divide it by 2:
4,735,861 ÷ 2 = 2,367,930.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,367,930.5 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 | 4,735,861 | |
| -1 | -4,735,861 |
Now, we try dividing 4,735,861 by 3:
4,735,861 ÷ 3 = 1,578,620.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,578,620.3333 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 | 4,735,861 | |
| -1 | -4,735,861 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,735,861 ÷ 4 = 1,183,965.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,183,965.25 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 | 4,735,861 | |
| -1 | 4,735,861 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 47 | 299 | 337 | 611 | 1,081 | 4,381 | 7,751 | 14,053 | 15,839 | 100,763 | 205,907 | 364,297 | 4,735,861 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -47 | -299 | -337 | -611 | -1,081 | -4,381 | -7,751 | -14,053 | -15,839 | -100,763 | -205,907 | -364,297 | -4,735,861 |
