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 4,953,817, 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 | 4,953,817 | |
| -1 | -4,953,817 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,953,817.
Example:
1 x 4,953,817 = 4,953,817
and
-1 x -4,953,817 = 4,953,817
Notice both answers equal 4,953,817
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,953,817 and divide it by 2:
4,953,817 ÷ 2 = 2,476,908.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,476,908.5 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 | 4,953,817 | |
| -1 | -4,953,817 |
Now, we try dividing 4,953,817 by 3:
4,953,817 ÷ 3 = 1,651,272.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,651,272.3333 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 | 4,953,817 | |
| -1 | -4,953,817 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,953,817 ÷ 4 = 1,238,454.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,238,454.25 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 | 4,953,817 | |
| -1 | 4,953,817 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 59 | 187 | 449 | 649 | 1,003 | 4,939 | 7,633 | 11,033 | 26,491 | 83,963 | 291,401 | 450,347 | 4,953,817 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -59 | -187 | -449 | -649 | -1,003 | -4,939 | -7,633 | -11,033 | -26,491 | -83,963 | -291,401 | -450,347 | -4,953,817 |
