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 4,514,315, 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 | 4,514,315 | |
| -1 | -4,514,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,514,315.
Example:
1 x 4,514,315 = 4,514,315
and
-1 x -4,514,315 = 4,514,315
Notice both answers equal 4,514,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,514,315 and divide it by 2:
4,514,315 ÷ 2 = 2,257,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,257,157.5 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 | 4,514,315 | |
| -1 | -4,514,315 |
Now, we try dividing 4,514,315 by 3:
4,514,315 ÷ 3 = 1,504,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,504,771.6667 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 | 4,514,315 | |
| -1 | -4,514,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,514,315 ÷ 4 = 1,128,578.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,128,578.75 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 | 4,514,315 | |
| -1 | 4,514,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 199 | 349 | 995 | 1,745 | 2,587 | 4,537 | 12,935 | 22,685 | 69,451 | 347,255 | 902,863 | 4,514,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -199 | -349 | -995 | -1,745 | -2,587 | -4,537 | -12,935 | -22,685 | -69,451 | -347,255 | -902,863 | -4,514,315 |
