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 4,779,335, 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 | 4,779,335 | |
| -1 | -4,779,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,779,335.
Example:
1 x 4,779,335 = 4,779,335
and
-1 x -4,779,335 = 4,779,335
Notice both answers equal 4,779,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,779,335 and divide it by 2:
4,779,335 ÷ 2 = 2,389,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,389,667.5 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 | 4,779,335 | |
| -1 | -4,779,335 |
Now, we try dividing 4,779,335 by 3:
4,779,335 ÷ 3 = 1,593,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,593,111.6667 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 | 4,779,335 | |
| -1 | -4,779,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,779,335 ÷ 4 = 1,194,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,194,833.75 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 | 4,779,335 | |
| -1 | 4,779,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 113 | 565 | 769 | 1,243 | 3,845 | 6,215 | 8,459 | 42,295 | 86,897 | 434,485 | 955,867 | 4,779,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -113 | -565 | -769 | -1,243 | -3,845 | -6,215 | -8,459 | -42,295 | -86,897 | -434,485 | -955,867 | -4,779,335 |
