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 4,768,751, 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 | 4,768,751 | |
| -1 | -4,768,751 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,768,751.
Example:
1 x 4,768,751 = 4,768,751
and
-1 x -4,768,751 = 4,768,751
Notice both answers equal 4,768,751
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,768,751 and divide it by 2:
4,768,751 ÷ 2 = 2,384,375.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,384,375.5 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 | 4,768,751 | |
| -1 | -4,768,751 |
Now, we try dividing 4,768,751 by 3:
4,768,751 ÷ 3 = 1,589,583.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,589,583.6667 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 | 4,768,751 | |
| -1 | -4,768,751 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,768,751 ÷ 4 = 1,192,187.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,192,187.75 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 | 4,768,751 | |
| -1 | 4,768,751 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 41 | 299 | 389 | 533 | 943 | 5,057 | 8,947 | 12,259 | 15,949 | 116,311 | 207,337 | 366,827 | 4,768,751 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -41 | -299 | -389 | -533 | -943 | -5,057 | -8,947 | -12,259 | -15,949 | -116,311 | -207,337 | -366,827 | -4,768,751 |
