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 4,508,713, 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 | 4,508,713 | |
| -1 | -4,508,713 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,508,713.
Example:
1 x 4,508,713 = 4,508,713
and
-1 x -4,508,713 = 4,508,713
Notice both answers equal 4,508,713
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,508,713 and divide it by 2:
4,508,713 ÷ 2 = 2,254,356.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,254,356.5 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 | 4,508,713 | |
| -1 | -4,508,713 |
Now, we try dividing 4,508,713 by 3:
4,508,713 ÷ 3 = 1,502,904.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,502,904.3333 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 | 4,508,713 | |
| -1 | -4,508,713 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,508,713 ÷ 4 = 1,127,178.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,127,178.25 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 | 4,508,713 | |
| -1 | 4,508,713 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 71 | 251 | 253 | 781 | 1,633 | 2,761 | 5,773 | 17,821 | 17,963 | 63,503 | 196,031 | 409,883 | 4,508,713 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -71 | -251 | -253 | -781 | -1,633 | -2,761 | -5,773 | -17,821 | -17,963 | -63,503 | -196,031 | -409,883 | -4,508,713 |
