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 4,532,215, 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 | 4,532,215 | |
| -1 | -4,532,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,532,215.
Example:
1 x 4,532,215 = 4,532,215
and
-1 x -4,532,215 = 4,532,215
Notice both answers equal 4,532,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,532,215 and divide it by 2:
4,532,215 ÷ 2 = 2,266,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,266,107.5 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 | 4,532,215 | |
| -1 | -4,532,215 |
Now, we try dividing 4,532,215 by 3:
4,532,215 ÷ 3 = 1,510,738.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,510,738.3333 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 | 4,532,215 | |
| -1 | -4,532,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,532,215 ÷ 4 = 1,133,053.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,133,053.75 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 | 4,532,215 | |
| -1 | 4,532,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 83 | 163 | 335 | 415 | 815 | 5,561 | 10,921 | 13,529 | 27,805 | 54,605 | 67,645 | 906,443 | 4,532,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -83 | -163 | -335 | -415 | -815 | -5,561 | -10,921 | -13,529 | -27,805 | -54,605 | -67,645 | -906,443 | -4,532,215 |
