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 4,579,003, 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 | 4,579,003 | |
| -1 | -4,579,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,579,003.
Example:
1 x 4,579,003 = 4,579,003
and
-1 x -4,579,003 = 4,579,003
Notice both answers equal 4,579,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,579,003 and divide it by 2:
4,579,003 ÷ 2 = 2,289,501.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,289,501.5 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 | 4,579,003 | |
| -1 | -4,579,003 |
Now, we try dividing 4,579,003 by 3:
4,579,003 ÷ 3 = 1,526,334.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,526,334.3333 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 | 4,579,003 | |
| -1 | -4,579,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,579,003 ÷ 4 = 1,144,750.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,144,750.75 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 | 4,579,003 | |
| -1 | 4,579,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 41 | 71 | 121 | 143 | 451 | 533 | 781 | 923 | 1,573 | 2,911 | 4,961 | 5,863 | 8,591 | 10,153 | 32,021 | 37,843 | 64,493 | 111,683 | 352,231 | 416,273 | 4,579,003 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -41 | -71 | -121 | -143 | -451 | -533 | -781 | -923 | -1,573 | -2,911 | -4,961 | -5,863 | -8,591 | -10,153 | -32,021 | -37,843 | -64,493 | -111,683 | -352,231 | -416,273 | -4,579,003 |
