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 4,529,945, 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 | 4,529,945 | |
| -1 | -4,529,945 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,529,945.
Example:
1 x 4,529,945 = 4,529,945
and
-1 x -4,529,945 = 4,529,945
Notice both answers equal 4,529,945
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,529,945 and divide it by 2:
4,529,945 ÷ 2 = 2,264,972.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,264,972.5 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 | 4,529,945 | |
| -1 | -4,529,945 |
Now, we try dividing 4,529,945 by 3:
4,529,945 ÷ 3 = 1,509,981.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,509,981.6667 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 | 4,529,945 | |
| -1 | -4,529,945 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,529,945 ÷ 4 = 1,132,486.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,132,486.25 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 | 4,529,945 | |
| -1 | 4,529,945 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 1,015 | 4,463 | 22,315 | 31,241 | 129,427 | 156,205 | 647,135 | 905,989 | 4,529,945 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -1,015 | -4,463 | -22,315 | -31,241 | -129,427 | -156,205 | -647,135 | -905,989 | -4,529,945 |
