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 4,873,055, 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 | 4,873,055 | |
| -1 | -4,873,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,873,055.
Example:
1 x 4,873,055 = 4,873,055
and
-1 x -4,873,055 = 4,873,055
Notice both answers equal 4,873,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,873,055 and divide it by 2:
4,873,055 ÷ 2 = 2,436,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,436,527.5 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 | 4,873,055 | |
| -1 | -4,873,055 |
Now, we try dividing 4,873,055 by 3:
4,873,055 ÷ 3 = 1,624,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,624,351.6667 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 | 4,873,055 | |
| -1 | -4,873,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,873,055 ÷ 4 = 1,218,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,218,263.75 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 | 4,873,055 | |
| -1 | 4,873,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 451 | 2,161 | 2,255 | 10,805 | 23,771 | 88,601 | 118,855 | 443,005 | 974,611 | 4,873,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -451 | -2,161 | -2,255 | -10,805 | -23,771 | -88,601 | -118,855 | -443,005 | -974,611 | -4,873,055 |
