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 4,820,965, 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 | 4,820,965 | |
| -1 | -4,820,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,820,965.
Example:
1 x 4,820,965 = 4,820,965
and
-1 x -4,820,965 = 4,820,965
Notice both answers equal 4,820,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,820,965 and divide it by 2:
4,820,965 ÷ 2 = 2,410,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,410,482.5 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 | 4,820,965 | |
| -1 | -4,820,965 |
Now, we try dividing 4,820,965 by 3:
4,820,965 ÷ 3 = 1,606,988.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,606,988.3333 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 | 4,820,965 | |
| -1 | -4,820,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,820,965 ÷ 4 = 1,205,241.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,205,241.25 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 | 4,820,965 | |
| -1 | 4,820,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 1,637 | 2,945 | 8,185 | 31,103 | 50,747 | 155,515 | 253,735 | 964,193 | 4,820,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -1,637 | -2,945 | -8,185 | -31,103 | -50,747 | -155,515 | -253,735 | -964,193 | -4,820,965 |
