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 4,761,029, 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 | 4,761,029 | |
| -1 | -4,761,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,761,029.
Example:
1 x 4,761,029 = 4,761,029
and
-1 x -4,761,029 = 4,761,029
Notice both answers equal 4,761,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,761,029 and divide it by 2:
4,761,029 ÷ 2 = 2,380,514.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,380,514.5 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 | 4,761,029 | |
| -1 | -4,761,029 |
Now, we try dividing 4,761,029 by 3:
4,761,029 ÷ 3 = 1,587,009.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,587,009.6667 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 | 4,761,029 | |
| -1 | -4,761,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,761,029 ÷ 4 = 1,190,257.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,190,257.25 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 | 4,761,029 | |
| -1 | 4,761,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 113 | 463 | 791 | 1,469 | 3,241 | 6,019 | 10,283 | 42,133 | 52,319 | 366,233 | 680,147 | 4,761,029 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -113 | -463 | -791 | -1,469 | -3,241 | -6,019 | -10,283 | -42,133 | -52,319 | -366,233 | -680,147 | -4,761,029 |
