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 4,736,455, 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 | 4,736,455 | |
| -1 | -4,736,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,736,455.
Example:
1 x 4,736,455 = 4,736,455
and
-1 x -4,736,455 = 4,736,455
Notice both answers equal 4,736,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,736,455 and divide it by 2:
4,736,455 ÷ 2 = 2,368,227.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,368,227.5 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 | 4,736,455 | |
| -1 | -4,736,455 |
Now, we try dividing 4,736,455 by 3:
4,736,455 ÷ 3 = 1,578,818.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,578,818.3333 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 | 4,736,455 | |
| -1 | -4,736,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,736,455 ÷ 4 = 1,184,113.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,184,113.75 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 | 4,736,455 | |
| -1 | 4,736,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 103 | 515 | 541 | 1,751 | 2,705 | 8,755 | 9,197 | 45,985 | 55,723 | 278,615 | 947,291 | 4,736,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -103 | -515 | -541 | -1,751 | -2,705 | -8,755 | -9,197 | -45,985 | -55,723 | -278,615 | -947,291 | -4,736,455 |
