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 4,804,085, 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 | 4,804,085 | |
| -1 | -4,804,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,804,085.
Example:
1 x 4,804,085 = 4,804,085
and
-1 x -4,804,085 = 4,804,085
Notice both answers equal 4,804,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,804,085 and divide it by 2:
4,804,085 ÷ 2 = 2,402,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,402,042.5 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 | 4,804,085 | |
| -1 | -4,804,085 |
Now, we try dividing 4,804,085 by 3:
4,804,085 ÷ 3 = 1,601,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,601,361.6667 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 | 4,804,085 | |
| -1 | -4,804,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,804,085 ÷ 4 = 1,201,021.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,201,021.25 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 | 4,804,085 | |
| -1 | 4,804,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 6,719 | 33,595 | 73,909 | 87,347 | 369,545 | 436,735 | 960,817 | 4,804,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -6,719 | -33,595 | -73,909 | -87,347 | -369,545 | -436,735 | -960,817 | -4,804,085 |
