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 4,516,745, 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 | 4,516,745 | |
| -1 | -4,516,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,516,745.
Example:
1 x 4,516,745 = 4,516,745
and
-1 x -4,516,745 = 4,516,745
Notice both answers equal 4,516,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,516,745 and divide it by 2:
4,516,745 ÷ 2 = 2,258,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,258,372.5 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 | 4,516,745 | |
| -1 | -4,516,745 |
Now, we try dividing 4,516,745 by 3:
4,516,745 ÷ 3 = 1,505,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,505,581.6667 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 | 4,516,745 | |
| -1 | -4,516,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,516,745 ÷ 4 = 1,129,186.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,129,186.25 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 | 4,516,745 | |
| -1 | 4,516,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 61 | 251 | 295 | 305 | 1,255 | 3,599 | 14,809 | 15,311 | 17,995 | 74,045 | 76,555 | 903,349 | 4,516,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -61 | -251 | -295 | -305 | -1,255 | -3,599 | -14,809 | -15,311 | -17,995 | -74,045 | -76,555 | -903,349 | -4,516,745 |
