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 4,882,451, 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 | 4,882,451 | |
| -1 | -4,882,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,882,451.
Example:
1 x 4,882,451 = 4,882,451
and
-1 x -4,882,451 = 4,882,451
Notice both answers equal 4,882,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,882,451 and divide it by 2:
4,882,451 ÷ 2 = 2,441,225.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,441,225.5 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 | 4,882,451 | |
| -1 | -4,882,451 |
Now, we try dividing 4,882,451 by 3:
4,882,451 ÷ 3 = 1,627,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,627,483.6667 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 | 4,882,451 | |
| -1 | -4,882,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,882,451 ÷ 4 = 1,220,612.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,220,612.75 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 | 4,882,451 | |
| -1 | 4,882,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 89 | 119 | 461 | 623 | 1,513 | 3,227 | 7,837 | 10,591 | 41,029 | 54,859 | 287,203 | 697,493 | 4,882,451 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -89 | -119 | -461 | -623 | -1,513 | -3,227 | -7,837 | -10,591 | -41,029 | -54,859 | -287,203 | -697,493 | -4,882,451 |
