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 4,757,365, 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 | 4,757,365 | |
| -1 | -4,757,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,757,365.
Example:
1 x 4,757,365 = 4,757,365
and
-1 x -4,757,365 = 4,757,365
Notice both answers equal 4,757,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,757,365 and divide it by 2:
4,757,365 ÷ 2 = 2,378,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,378,682.5 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 | 4,757,365 | |
| -1 | -4,757,365 |
Now, we try dividing 4,757,365 by 3:
4,757,365 ÷ 3 = 1,585,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,585,788.3333 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 | 4,757,365 | |
| -1 | -4,757,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,757,365 ÷ 4 = 1,189,341.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,189,341.25 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 | 4,757,365 | |
| -1 | 4,757,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 97 | 485 | 577 | 1,649 | 2,885 | 8,245 | 9,809 | 49,045 | 55,969 | 279,845 | 951,473 | 4,757,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -97 | -485 | -577 | -1,649 | -2,885 | -8,245 | -9,809 | -49,045 | -55,969 | -279,845 | -951,473 | -4,757,365 |
