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 4,743,115, 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 | 4,743,115 | |
| -1 | -4,743,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,743,115.
Example:
1 x 4,743,115 = 4,743,115
and
-1 x -4,743,115 = 4,743,115
Notice both answers equal 4,743,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,743,115 and divide it by 2:
4,743,115 ÷ 2 = 2,371,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,371,557.5 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 | 4,743,115 | |
| -1 | -4,743,115 |
Now, we try dividing 4,743,115 by 3:
4,743,115 ÷ 3 = 1,581,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,581,038.3333 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 | 4,743,115 | |
| -1 | -4,743,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,743,115 ÷ 4 = 1,185,778.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,185,778.75 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 | 4,743,115 | |
| -1 | 4,743,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 1,697 | 2,795 | 8,485 | 22,061 | 72,971 | 110,305 | 364,855 | 948,623 | 4,743,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -1,697 | -2,795 | -8,485 | -22,061 | -72,971 | -110,305 | -364,855 | -948,623 | -4,743,115 |
