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 4,501,355, 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 | 4,501,355 | |
| -1 | -4,501,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,501,355.
Example:
1 x 4,501,355 = 4,501,355
and
-1 x -4,501,355 = 4,501,355
Notice both answers equal 4,501,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,501,355 and divide it by 2:
4,501,355 ÷ 2 = 2,250,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,250,677.5 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 | 4,501,355 | |
| -1 | -4,501,355 |
Now, we try dividing 4,501,355 by 3:
4,501,355 ÷ 3 = 1,500,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,500,451.6667 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 | 4,501,355 | |
| -1 | -4,501,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,501,355 ÷ 4 = 1,125,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,125,338.75 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 | 4,501,355 | |
| -1 | 4,501,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 113 | 155 | 257 | 565 | 1,285 | 3,503 | 7,967 | 17,515 | 29,041 | 39,835 | 145,205 | 900,271 | 4,501,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -113 | -155 | -257 | -565 | -1,285 | -3,503 | -7,967 | -17,515 | -29,041 | -39,835 | -145,205 | -900,271 | -4,501,355 |
