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 4,613,735, 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 | 4,613,735 | |
| -1 | -4,613,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,613,735.
Example:
1 x 4,613,735 = 4,613,735
and
-1 x -4,613,735 = 4,613,735
Notice both answers equal 4,613,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,613,735 and divide it by 2:
4,613,735 ÷ 2 = 2,306,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,306,867.5 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 | 4,613,735 | |
| -1 | -4,613,735 |
Now, we try dividing 4,613,735 by 3:
4,613,735 ÷ 3 = 1,537,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,537,911.6667 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 | 4,613,735 | |
| -1 | -4,613,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,613,735 ÷ 4 = 1,153,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,153,433.75 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 | 4,613,735 | |
| -1 | 4,613,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 61 | 305 | 427 | 2,135 | 2,161 | 10,805 | 15,127 | 75,635 | 131,821 | 659,105 | 922,747 | 4,613,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -61 | -305 | -427 | -2,135 | -2,161 | -10,805 | -15,127 | -75,635 | -131,821 | -659,105 | -922,747 | -4,613,735 |
