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 4,511,585, 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 | 4,511,585 | |
| -1 | -4,511,585 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,511,585.
Example:
1 x 4,511,585 = 4,511,585
and
-1 x -4,511,585 = 4,511,585
Notice both answers equal 4,511,585
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,511,585 and divide it by 2:
4,511,585 ÷ 2 = 2,255,792.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,255,792.5 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 | 4,511,585 | |
| -1 | -4,511,585 |
Now, we try dividing 4,511,585 by 3:
4,511,585 ÷ 3 = 1,503,861.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,503,861.6667 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 | 4,511,585 | |
| -1 | -4,511,585 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,511,585 ÷ 4 = 1,127,896.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,127,896.25 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 | 4,511,585 | |
| -1 | 4,511,585 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 2,015 | 2,239 | 11,195 | 29,107 | 69,409 | 145,535 | 347,045 | 902,317 | 4,511,585 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -2,015 | -2,239 | -11,195 | -29,107 | -69,409 | -145,535 | -347,045 | -902,317 | -4,511,585 |
