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 4,510,051, 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 | 4,510,051 | |
| -1 | -4,510,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,510,051.
Example:
1 x 4,510,051 = 4,510,051
and
-1 x -4,510,051 = 4,510,051
Notice both answers equal 4,510,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,510,051 and divide it by 2:
4,510,051 ÷ 2 = 2,255,025.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,255,025.5 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 | 4,510,051 | |
| -1 | -4,510,051 |
Now, we try dividing 4,510,051 by 3:
4,510,051 ÷ 3 = 1,503,350.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,503,350.3333 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 | 4,510,051 | |
| -1 | -4,510,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,510,051 ÷ 4 = 1,127,512.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,127,512.75 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 | 4,510,051 | |
| -1 | 4,510,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 377 | 1,709 | 2,639 | 11,963 | 22,217 | 49,561 | 155,519 | 346,927 | 644,293 | 4,510,051 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -377 | -1,709 | -2,639 | -11,963 | -22,217 | -49,561 | -155,519 | -346,927 | -644,293 | -4,510,051 |
