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 4,577,461, 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 | 4,577,461 | |
| -1 | -4,577,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,577,461.
Example:
1 x 4,577,461 = 4,577,461
and
-1 x -4,577,461 = 4,577,461
Notice both answers equal 4,577,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,577,461 and divide it by 2:
4,577,461 ÷ 2 = 2,288,730.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,288,730.5 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 | 4,577,461 | |
| -1 | -4,577,461 |
Now, we try dividing 4,577,461 by 3:
4,577,461 ÷ 3 = 1,525,820.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,525,820.3333 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 | 4,577,461 | |
| -1 | -4,577,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,577,461 ÷ 4 = 1,144,365.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,144,365.25 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 | 4,577,461 | |
| -1 | 4,577,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 127 | 133 | 271 | 889 | 1,897 | 2,413 | 5,149 | 16,891 | 34,417 | 36,043 | 240,919 | 653,923 | 4,577,461 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -127 | -133 | -271 | -889 | -1,897 | -2,413 | -5,149 | -16,891 | -34,417 | -36,043 | -240,919 | -653,923 | -4,577,461 |
