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 4,875,277, 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 | 4,875,277 | |
| -1 | -4,875,277 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,875,277.
Example:
1 x 4,875,277 = 4,875,277
and
-1 x -4,875,277 = 4,875,277
Notice both answers equal 4,875,277
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,875,277 and divide it by 2:
4,875,277 ÷ 2 = 2,437,638.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,437,638.5 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 | 4,875,277 | |
| -1 | -4,875,277 |
Now, we try dividing 4,875,277 by 3:
4,875,277 ÷ 3 = 1,625,092.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,625,092.3333 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 | 4,875,277 | |
| -1 | -4,875,277 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,875,277 ÷ 4 = 1,218,819.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,218,819.25 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 | 4,875,277 | |
| -1 | 4,875,277 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 29 | 31 | 187 | 319 | 341 | 493 | 527 | 841 | 899 | 5,423 | 5,797 | 9,251 | 9,889 | 14,297 | 15,283 | 26,071 | 157,267 | 168,113 | 286,781 | 443,207 | 4,875,277 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -29 | -31 | -187 | -319 | -341 | -493 | -527 | -841 | -899 | -5,423 | -5,797 | -9,251 | -9,889 | -14,297 | -15,283 | -26,071 | -157,267 | -168,113 | -286,781 | -443,207 | -4,875,277 |
