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 4,977,269, 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 | 4,977,269 | |
| -1 | -4,977,269 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,977,269.
Example:
1 x 4,977,269 = 4,977,269
and
-1 x -4,977,269 = 4,977,269
Notice both answers equal 4,977,269
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,977,269 and divide it by 2:
4,977,269 ÷ 2 = 2,488,634.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,488,634.5 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 | 4,977,269 | |
| -1 | -4,977,269 |
Now, we try dividing 4,977,269 by 3:
4,977,269 ÷ 3 = 1,659,089.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,659,089.6667 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 | 4,977,269 | |
| -1 | -4,977,269 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,977,269 ÷ 4 = 1,244,317.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,244,317.25 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 | 4,977,269 | |
| -1 | 4,977,269 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 103 | 191 | 253 | 1,133 | 2,101 | 2,369 | 4,393 | 19,673 | 26,059 | 48,323 | 216,403 | 452,479 | 4,977,269 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -103 | -191 | -253 | -1,133 | -2,101 | -2,369 | -4,393 | -19,673 | -26,059 | -48,323 | -216,403 | -452,479 | -4,977,269 |
