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 4,806,685, 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 | 4,806,685 | |
| -1 | -4,806,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,806,685.
Example:
1 x 4,806,685 = 4,806,685
and
-1 x -4,806,685 = 4,806,685
Notice both answers equal 4,806,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,806,685 and divide it by 2:
4,806,685 ÷ 2 = 2,403,342.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,403,342.5 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 | 4,806,685 | |
| -1 | -4,806,685 |
Now, we try dividing 4,806,685 by 3:
4,806,685 ÷ 3 = 1,602,228.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,602,228.3333 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 | 4,806,685 | |
| -1 | -4,806,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,806,685 ÷ 4 = 1,201,671.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,201,671.25 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 | 4,806,685 | |
| -1 | 4,806,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 73 | 365 | 949 | 1,013 | 4,745 | 5,065 | 13,169 | 65,845 | 73,949 | 369,745 | 961,337 | 4,806,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -73 | -365 | -949 | -1,013 | -4,745 | -5,065 | -13,169 | -65,845 | -73,949 | -369,745 | -961,337 | -4,806,685 |
