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 4,552,685, 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 | 4,552,685 | |
| -1 | -4,552,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,552,685.
Example:
1 x 4,552,685 = 4,552,685
and
-1 x -4,552,685 = 4,552,685
Notice both answers equal 4,552,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,552,685 and divide it by 2:
4,552,685 ÷ 2 = 2,276,342.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,276,342.5 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 | 4,552,685 | |
| -1 | -4,552,685 |
Now, we try dividing 4,552,685 by 3:
4,552,685 ÷ 3 = 1,517,561.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,517,561.6667 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 | 4,552,685 | |
| -1 | -4,552,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,552,685 ÷ 4 = 1,138,171.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,138,171.25 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 | 4,552,685 | |
| -1 | 4,552,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 2,819 | 14,095 | 47,923 | 53,561 | 239,615 | 267,805 | 910,537 | 4,552,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -2,819 | -14,095 | -47,923 | -53,561 | -239,615 | -267,805 | -910,537 | -4,552,685 |
