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 4,578,223, 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 | 4,578,223 | |
| -1 | -4,578,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,578,223.
Example:
1 x 4,578,223 = 4,578,223
and
-1 x -4,578,223 = 4,578,223
Notice both answers equal 4,578,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,578,223 and divide it by 2:
4,578,223 ÷ 2 = 2,289,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,289,111.5 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 | 4,578,223 | |
| -1 | -4,578,223 |
Now, we try dividing 4,578,223 by 3:
4,578,223 ÷ 3 = 1,526,074.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,526,074.3333 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 | 4,578,223 | |
| -1 | -4,578,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,578,223 ÷ 4 = 1,144,555.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,144,555.75 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 | 4,578,223 | |
| -1 | 4,578,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 47 | 59 | 127 | 611 | 767 | 1,651 | 2,773 | 5,969 | 7,493 | 36,049 | 77,597 | 97,409 | 352,171 | 4,578,223 |
| -1 | -13 | -47 | -59 | -127 | -611 | -767 | -1,651 | -2,773 | -5,969 | -7,493 | -36,049 | -77,597 | -97,409 | -352,171 | -4,578,223 |
