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 4,520,537, 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 | 4,520,537 | |
| -1 | -4,520,537 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,520,537.
Example:
1 x 4,520,537 = 4,520,537
and
-1 x -4,520,537 = 4,520,537
Notice both answers equal 4,520,537
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,520,537 and divide it by 2:
4,520,537 ÷ 2 = 2,260,268.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,260,268.5 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 | 4,520,537 | |
| -1 | -4,520,537 |
Now, we try dividing 4,520,537 by 3:
4,520,537 ÷ 3 = 1,506,845.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,506,845.6667 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 | 4,520,537 | |
| -1 | -4,520,537 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,520,537 ÷ 4 = 1,130,134.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,130,134.25 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 | 4,520,537 | |
| -1 | 4,520,537 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 133 | 287 | 779 | 829 | 5,453 | 5,803 | 15,751 | 33,989 | 110,257 | 237,923 | 645,791 | 4,520,537 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -133 | -287 | -779 | -829 | -5,453 | -5,803 | -15,751 | -33,989 | -110,257 | -237,923 | -645,791 | -4,520,537 |
