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 4,552,145, 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 | 4,552,145 | |
| -1 | -4,552,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,552,145.
Example:
1 x 4,552,145 = 4,552,145
and
-1 x -4,552,145 = 4,552,145
Notice both answers equal 4,552,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,552,145 and divide it by 2:
4,552,145 ÷ 2 = 2,276,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,276,072.5 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 | 4,552,145 | |
| -1 | -4,552,145 |
Now, we try dividing 4,552,145 by 3:
4,552,145 ÷ 3 = 1,517,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,517,381.6667 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 | 4,552,145 | |
| -1 | -4,552,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,552,145 ÷ 4 = 1,138,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,138,036.25 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 | 4,552,145 | |
| -1 | 4,552,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 1,187 | 3,835 | 5,935 | 15,431 | 70,033 | 77,155 | 350,165 | 910,429 | 4,552,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -1,187 | -3,835 | -5,935 | -15,431 | -70,033 | -77,155 | -350,165 | -910,429 | -4,552,145 |
