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 4,565,743, 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 | 4,565,743 | |
| -1 | -4,565,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,565,743.
Example:
1 x 4,565,743 = 4,565,743
and
-1 x -4,565,743 = 4,565,743
Notice both answers equal 4,565,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,565,743 and divide it by 2:
4,565,743 ÷ 2 = 2,282,871.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,282,871.5 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 | 4,565,743 | |
| -1 | -4,565,743 |
Now, we try dividing 4,565,743 by 3:
4,565,743 ÷ 3 = 1,521,914.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,521,914.3333 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 | 4,565,743 | |
| -1 | -4,565,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,565,743 ÷ 4 = 1,141,435.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,141,435.75 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 | 4,565,743 | |
| -1 | 4,565,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 131 | 383 | 917 | 1,703 | 2,681 | 4,979 | 11,921 | 34,853 | 50,173 | 351,211 | 652,249 | 4,565,743 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -131 | -383 | -917 | -1,703 | -2,681 | -4,979 | -11,921 | -34,853 | -50,173 | -351,211 | -652,249 | -4,565,743 |
