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 4,878,475, 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 | 4,878,475 | |
| -1 | -4,878,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,878,475.
Example:
1 x 4,878,475 = 4,878,475
and
-1 x -4,878,475 = 4,878,475
Notice both answers equal 4,878,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,878,475 and divide it by 2:
4,878,475 ÷ 2 = 2,439,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,439,237.5 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 | 4,878,475 | |
| -1 | -4,878,475 |
Now, we try dividing 4,878,475 by 3:
4,878,475 ÷ 3 = 1,626,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,626,158.3333 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 | 4,878,475 | |
| -1 | -4,878,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,878,475 ÷ 4 = 1,219,618.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,219,618.75 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 | 4,878,475 | |
| -1 | 4,878,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 61 | 175 | 305 | 427 | 457 | 1,525 | 2,135 | 2,285 | 3,199 | 10,675 | 11,425 | 15,995 | 27,877 | 79,975 | 139,385 | 195,139 | 696,925 | 975,695 | 4,878,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -61 | -175 | -305 | -427 | -457 | -1,525 | -2,135 | -2,285 | -3,199 | -10,675 | -11,425 | -15,995 | -27,877 | -79,975 | -139,385 | -195,139 | -696,925 | -975,695 | -4,878,475 |
