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 4,792,403, 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 | 4,792,403 | |
| -1 | -4,792,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,792,403.
Example:
1 x 4,792,403 = 4,792,403
and
-1 x -4,792,403 = 4,792,403
Notice both answers equal 4,792,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,792,403 and divide it by 2:
4,792,403 ÷ 2 = 2,396,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,396,201.5 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 | 4,792,403 | |
| -1 | -4,792,403 |
Now, we try dividing 4,792,403 by 3:
4,792,403 ÷ 3 = 1,597,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,597,467.6667 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 | 4,792,403 | |
| -1 | -4,792,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,792,403 ÷ 4 = 1,198,100.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,198,100.75 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 | 4,792,403 | |
| -1 | 4,792,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 109 | 571 | 763 | 1,199 | 3,997 | 6,281 | 8,393 | 43,967 | 62,239 | 435,673 | 684,629 | 4,792,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -109 | -571 | -763 | -1,199 | -3,997 | -6,281 | -8,393 | -43,967 | -62,239 | -435,673 | -684,629 | -4,792,403 |
