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 4,546,295, 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 | 4,546,295 | |
| -1 | -4,546,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,546,295.
Example:
1 x 4,546,295 = 4,546,295
and
-1 x -4,546,295 = 4,546,295
Notice both answers equal 4,546,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,546,295 and divide it by 2:
4,546,295 ÷ 2 = 2,273,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,273,147.5 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 | 4,546,295 | |
| -1 | -4,546,295 |
Now, we try dividing 4,546,295 by 3:
4,546,295 ÷ 3 = 1,515,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,515,431.6667 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 | 4,546,295 | |
| -1 | -4,546,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,546,295 ÷ 4 = 1,136,573.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,136,573.75 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 | 4,546,295 | |
| -1 | 4,546,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,495 | 3,041 | 15,205 | 39,533 | 69,943 | 197,665 | 349,715 | 909,259 | 4,546,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,495 | -3,041 | -15,205 | -39,533 | -69,943 | -197,665 | -349,715 | -909,259 | -4,546,295 |
