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 4,740,295, 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 | 4,740,295 | |
| -1 | -4,740,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,740,295.
Example:
1 x 4,740,295 = 4,740,295
and
-1 x -4,740,295 = 4,740,295
Notice both answers equal 4,740,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,740,295 and divide it by 2:
4,740,295 ÷ 2 = 2,370,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,370,147.5 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 | 4,740,295 | |
| -1 | -4,740,295 |
Now, we try dividing 4,740,295 by 3:
4,740,295 ÷ 3 = 1,580,098.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,580,098.3333 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 | 4,740,295 | |
| -1 | -4,740,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,740,295 ÷ 4 = 1,185,073.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,185,073.75 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 | 4,740,295 | |
| -1 | 4,740,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 167 | 811 | 835 | 1,169 | 4,055 | 5,677 | 5,845 | 28,385 | 135,437 | 677,185 | 948,059 | 4,740,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -167 | -811 | -835 | -1,169 | -4,055 | -5,677 | -5,845 | -28,385 | -135,437 | -677,185 | -948,059 | -4,740,295 |
