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 4,536,059, 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 | 4,536,059 | |
| -1 | -4,536,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,536,059.
Example:
1 x 4,536,059 = 4,536,059
and
-1 x -4,536,059 = 4,536,059
Notice both answers equal 4,536,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,536,059 and divide it by 2:
4,536,059 ÷ 2 = 2,268,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,268,029.5 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 | 4,536,059 | |
| -1 | -4,536,059 |
Now, we try dividing 4,536,059 by 3:
4,536,059 ÷ 3 = 1,512,019.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,512,019.6667 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 | 4,536,059 | |
| -1 | -4,536,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,536,059 ÷ 4 = 1,134,014.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,134,014.75 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 | 4,536,059 | |
| -1 | 4,536,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 127 | 187 | 191 | 1,397 | 2,101 | 2,159 | 3,247 | 23,749 | 24,257 | 35,717 | 266,827 | 412,369 | 4,536,059 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -127 | -187 | -191 | -1,397 | -2,101 | -2,159 | -3,247 | -23,749 | -24,257 | -35,717 | -266,827 | -412,369 | -4,536,059 |
