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 4,802,699, 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 | 4,802,699 | |
| -1 | -4,802,699 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,802,699.
Example:
1 x 4,802,699 = 4,802,699
and
-1 x -4,802,699 = 4,802,699
Notice both answers equal 4,802,699
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,802,699 and divide it by 2:
4,802,699 ÷ 2 = 2,401,349.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,401,349.5 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 | 4,802,699 | |
| -1 | -4,802,699 |
Now, we try dividing 4,802,699 by 3:
4,802,699 ÷ 3 = 1,600,899.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,600,899.6667 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 | 4,802,699 | |
| -1 | -4,802,699 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,802,699 ÷ 4 = 1,200,674.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,200,674.75 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 | 4,802,699 | |
| -1 | 4,802,699 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 41 | 253 | 451 | 463 | 943 | 5,093 | 10,373 | 10,649 | 18,983 | 117,139 | 208,813 | 436,609 | 4,802,699 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -41 | -253 | -451 | -463 | -943 | -5,093 | -10,373 | -10,649 | -18,983 | -117,139 | -208,813 | -436,609 | -4,802,699 |
