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 4,510,451, 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 | 4,510,451 | |
| -1 | -4,510,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,510,451.
Example:
1 x 4,510,451 = 4,510,451
and
-1 x -4,510,451 = 4,510,451
Notice both answers equal 4,510,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,510,451 and divide it by 2:
4,510,451 ÷ 2 = 2,255,225.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,255,225.5 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 | 4,510,451 | |
| -1 | -4,510,451 |
Now, we try dividing 4,510,451 by 3:
4,510,451 ÷ 3 = 1,503,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,503,483.6667 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 | 4,510,451 | |
| -1 | -4,510,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,510,451 ÷ 4 = 1,127,612.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,127,612.75 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 | 4,510,451 | |
| -1 | 4,510,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 73 | 137 | 451 | 803 | 1,507 | 2,993 | 5,617 | 10,001 | 32,923 | 61,787 | 110,011 | 410,041 | 4,510,451 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -73 | -137 | -451 | -803 | -1,507 | -2,993 | -5,617 | -10,001 | -32,923 | -61,787 | -110,011 | -410,041 | -4,510,451 |
