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 4,572,469, 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 | 4,572,469 | |
| -1 | -4,572,469 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,572,469.
Example:
1 x 4,572,469 = 4,572,469
and
-1 x -4,572,469 = 4,572,469
Notice both answers equal 4,572,469
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,572,469 and divide it by 2:
4,572,469 ÷ 2 = 2,286,234.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,286,234.5 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 | 4,572,469 | |
| -1 | -4,572,469 |
Now, we try dividing 4,572,469 by 3:
4,572,469 ÷ 3 = 1,524,156.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,524,156.3333 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 | 4,572,469 | |
| -1 | -4,572,469 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,572,469 ÷ 4 = 1,143,117.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,143,117.25 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 | 4,572,469 | |
| -1 | 4,572,469 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 53 | 121 | 253 | 341 | 583 | 713 | 1,219 | 1,643 | 2,783 | 3,751 | 6,413 | 7,843 | 13,409 | 18,073 | 37,789 | 86,273 | 147,499 | 198,803 | 415,679 | 4,572,469 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -53 | -121 | -253 | -341 | -583 | -713 | -1,219 | -1,643 | -2,783 | -3,751 | -6,413 | -7,843 | -13,409 | -18,073 | -37,789 | -86,273 | -147,499 | -198,803 | -415,679 | -4,572,469 |
