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 4,779,115, 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 | 4,779,115 | |
| -1 | -4,779,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,779,115.
Example:
1 x 4,779,115 = 4,779,115
and
-1 x -4,779,115 = 4,779,115
Notice both answers equal 4,779,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,779,115 and divide it by 2:
4,779,115 ÷ 2 = 2,389,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,389,557.5 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 | 4,779,115 | |
| -1 | -4,779,115 |
Now, we try dividing 4,779,115 by 3:
4,779,115 ÷ 3 = 1,593,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,593,038.3333 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 | 4,779,115 | |
| -1 | -4,779,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,779,115 ÷ 4 = 1,194,778.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,194,778.75 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 | 4,779,115 | |
| -1 | 4,779,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 2,803 | 14,015 | 30,833 | 86,893 | 154,165 | 434,465 | 955,823 | 4,779,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -2,803 | -14,015 | -30,833 | -86,893 | -154,165 | -434,465 | -955,823 | -4,779,115 |
