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 4,542,835, 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 | 4,542,835 | |
| -1 | -4,542,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,542,835.
Example:
1 x 4,542,835 = 4,542,835
and
-1 x -4,542,835 = 4,542,835
Notice both answers equal 4,542,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,542,835 and divide it by 2:
4,542,835 ÷ 2 = 2,271,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,271,417.5 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 | 4,542,835 | |
| -1 | -4,542,835 |
Now, we try dividing 4,542,835 by 3:
4,542,835 ÷ 3 = 1,514,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,514,278.3333 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 | 4,542,835 | |
| -1 | -4,542,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,542,835 ÷ 4 = 1,135,708.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,135,708.75 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 | 4,542,835 | |
| -1 | 4,542,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 151 | 547 | 755 | 1,661 | 2,735 | 6,017 | 8,305 | 30,085 | 82,597 | 412,985 | 908,567 | 4,542,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -151 | -547 | -755 | -1,661 | -2,735 | -6,017 | -8,305 | -30,085 | -82,597 | -412,985 | -908,567 | -4,542,835 |
