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 4,517,165, 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 | 4,517,165 | |
| -1 | -4,517,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,517,165.
Example:
1 x 4,517,165 = 4,517,165
and
-1 x -4,517,165 = 4,517,165
Notice both answers equal 4,517,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,517,165 and divide it by 2:
4,517,165 ÷ 2 = 2,258,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,258,582.5 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 | 4,517,165 | |
| -1 | -4,517,165 |
Now, we try dividing 4,517,165 by 3:
4,517,165 ÷ 3 = 1,505,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,505,721.6667 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 | 4,517,165 | |
| -1 | -4,517,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,517,165 ÷ 4 = 1,129,291.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,129,291.25 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 | 4,517,165 | |
| -1 | 4,517,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 151 | 155 | 193 | 755 | 965 | 4,681 | 5,983 | 23,405 | 29,143 | 29,915 | 145,715 | 903,433 | 4,517,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -151 | -155 | -193 | -755 | -965 | -4,681 | -5,983 | -23,405 | -29,143 | -29,915 | -145,715 | -903,433 | -4,517,165 |
