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 4,873,045, 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 | 4,873,045 | |
| -1 | -4,873,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,873,045.
Example:
1 x 4,873,045 = 4,873,045
and
-1 x -4,873,045 = 4,873,045
Notice both answers equal 4,873,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,873,045 and divide it by 2:
4,873,045 ÷ 2 = 2,436,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,436,522.5 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 | 4,873,045 | |
| -1 | -4,873,045 |
Now, we try dividing 4,873,045 by 3:
4,873,045 ÷ 3 = 1,624,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,624,348.3333 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 | 4,873,045 | |
| -1 | -4,873,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,873,045 ÷ 4 = 1,218,261.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,218,261.25 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 | 4,873,045 | |
| -1 | 4,873,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 149 | 155 | 211 | 745 | 1,055 | 4,619 | 6,541 | 23,095 | 31,439 | 32,705 | 157,195 | 974,609 | 4,873,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -149 | -155 | -211 | -745 | -1,055 | -4,619 | -6,541 | -23,095 | -31,439 | -32,705 | -157,195 | -974,609 | -4,873,045 |
