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 4,835,165, 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 | 4,835,165 | |
| -1 | -4,835,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,835,165.
Example:
1 x 4,835,165 = 4,835,165
and
-1 x -4,835,165 = 4,835,165
Notice both answers equal 4,835,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,835,165 and divide it by 2:
4,835,165 ÷ 2 = 2,417,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,417,582.5 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 | 4,835,165 | |
| -1 | -4,835,165 |
Now, we try dividing 4,835,165 by 3:
4,835,165 ÷ 3 = 1,611,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,611,721.6667 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 | 4,835,165 | |
| -1 | -4,835,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,835,165 ÷ 4 = 1,208,791.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,208,791.25 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 | 4,835,165 | |
| -1 | 4,835,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 61 | 83 | 191 | 305 | 415 | 955 | 5,063 | 11,651 | 15,853 | 25,315 | 58,255 | 79,265 | 967,033 | 4,835,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -61 | -83 | -191 | -305 | -415 | -955 | -5,063 | -11,651 | -15,853 | -25,315 | -58,255 | -79,265 | -967,033 | -4,835,165 |
