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 4,743,235, 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 | 4,743,235 | |
| -1 | -4,743,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,743,235.
Example:
1 x 4,743,235 = 4,743,235
and
-1 x -4,743,235 = 4,743,235
Notice both answers equal 4,743,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,743,235 and divide it by 2:
4,743,235 ÷ 2 = 2,371,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,371,617.5 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 | 4,743,235 | |
| -1 | -4,743,235 |
Now, we try dividing 4,743,235 by 3:
4,743,235 ÷ 3 = 1,581,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,581,078.3333 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 | 4,743,235 | |
| -1 | -4,743,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,743,235 ÷ 4 = 1,185,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,185,808.75 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 | 4,743,235 | |
| -1 | 4,743,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 2,557 | 12,785 | 17,899 | 89,495 | 135,521 | 677,605 | 948,647 | 4,743,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -2,557 | -12,785 | -17,899 | -89,495 | -135,521 | -677,605 | -948,647 | -4,743,235 |
