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 4,796,561, 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 | 4,796,561 | |
| -1 | -4,796,561 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,796,561.
Example:
1 x 4,796,561 = 4,796,561
and
-1 x -4,796,561 = 4,796,561
Notice both answers equal 4,796,561
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,796,561 and divide it by 2:
4,796,561 ÷ 2 = 2,398,280.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,398,280.5 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 | 4,796,561 | |
| -1 | -4,796,561 |
Now, we try dividing 4,796,561 by 3:
4,796,561 ÷ 3 = 1,598,853.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,598,853.6667 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 | 4,796,561 | |
| -1 | -4,796,561 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,796,561 ÷ 4 = 1,199,140.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,199,140.25 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 | 4,796,561 | |
| -1 | 4,796,561 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 121 | 539 | 809 | 847 | 5,663 | 5,929 | 8,899 | 39,641 | 62,293 | 97,889 | 436,051 | 685,223 | 4,796,561 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -121 | -539 | -809 | -847 | -5,663 | -5,929 | -8,899 | -39,641 | -62,293 | -97,889 | -436,051 | -685,223 | -4,796,561 |
