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 4,850,695, 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 | 4,850,695 | |
| -1 | -4,850,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,850,695.
Example:
1 x 4,850,695 = 4,850,695
and
-1 x -4,850,695 = 4,850,695
Notice both answers equal 4,850,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,850,695 and divide it by 2:
4,850,695 ÷ 2 = 2,425,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,425,347.5 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 | 4,850,695 | |
| -1 | -4,850,695 |
Now, we try dividing 4,850,695 by 3:
4,850,695 ÷ 3 = 1,616,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,616,898.3333 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 | 4,850,695 | |
| -1 | -4,850,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,850,695 ÷ 4 = 1,212,673.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,212,673.75 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 | 4,850,695 | |
| -1 | 4,850,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 149 | 383 | 745 | 1,915 | 2,533 | 6,511 | 12,665 | 32,555 | 57,067 | 285,335 | 970,139 | 4,850,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -149 | -383 | -745 | -1,915 | -2,533 | -6,511 | -12,665 | -32,555 | -57,067 | -285,335 | -970,139 | -4,850,695 |
