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 4,756,015, 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 | 4,756,015 | |
| -1 | -4,756,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,756,015.
Example:
1 x 4,756,015 = 4,756,015
and
-1 x -4,756,015 = 4,756,015
Notice both answers equal 4,756,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,756,015 and divide it by 2:
4,756,015 ÷ 2 = 2,378,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,378,007.5 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 | 4,756,015 | |
| -1 | -4,756,015 |
Now, we try dividing 4,756,015 by 3:
4,756,015 ÷ 3 = 1,585,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,585,338.3333 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 | 4,756,015 | |
| -1 | -4,756,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,756,015 ÷ 4 = 1,189,003.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,189,003.75 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 | 4,756,015 | |
| -1 | 4,756,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 2,011 | 2,365 | 10,055 | 22,121 | 86,473 | 110,605 | 432,365 | 951,203 | 4,756,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -2,011 | -2,365 | -10,055 | -22,121 | -86,473 | -110,605 | -432,365 | -951,203 | -4,756,015 |
