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 4,346,545, 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 | 4,346,545 | |
| -1 | -4,346,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,346,545.
Example:
1 x 4,346,545 = 4,346,545
and
-1 x -4,346,545 = 4,346,545
Notice both answers equal 4,346,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,346,545 and divide it by 2:
4,346,545 ÷ 2 = 2,173,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,173,272.5 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 | 4,346,545 | |
| -1 | -4,346,545 |
Now, we try dividing 4,346,545 by 3:
4,346,545 ÷ 3 = 1,448,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,448,848.3333 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 | 4,346,545 | |
| -1 | -4,346,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,346,545 ÷ 4 = 1,086,636.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,086,636.25 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 | 4,346,545 | |
| -1 | 4,346,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 113 | 157 | 245 | 565 | 785 | 791 | 1,099 | 3,955 | 5,495 | 5,537 | 7,693 | 17,741 | 27,685 | 38,465 | 88,705 | 124,187 | 620,935 | 869,309 | 4,346,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -113 | -157 | -245 | -565 | -785 | -791 | -1,099 | -3,955 | -5,495 | -5,537 | -7,693 | -17,741 | -27,685 | -38,465 | -88,705 | -124,187 | -620,935 | -869,309 | -4,346,545 |
