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 4,504,205, 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 | 4,504,205 | |
| -1 | -4,504,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,504,205.
Example:
1 x 4,504,205 = 4,504,205
and
-1 x -4,504,205 = 4,504,205
Notice both answers equal 4,504,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,504,205 and divide it by 2:
4,504,205 ÷ 2 = 2,252,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,252,102.5 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 | 4,504,205 | |
| -1 | -4,504,205 |
Now, we try dividing 4,504,205 by 3:
4,504,205 ÷ 3 = 1,501,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,501,401.6667 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 | 4,504,205 | |
| -1 | -4,504,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,504,205 ÷ 4 = 1,126,051.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,126,051.25 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 | 4,504,205 | |
| -1 | 4,504,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 53 | 115 | 265 | 739 | 1,219 | 3,695 | 6,095 | 16,997 | 39,167 | 84,985 | 195,835 | 900,841 | 4,504,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -53 | -115 | -265 | -739 | -1,219 | -3,695 | -6,095 | -16,997 | -39,167 | -84,985 | -195,835 | -900,841 | -4,504,205 |
