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 4,581,335, 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 | 4,581,335 | |
| -1 | -4,581,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,581,335.
Example:
1 x 4,581,335 = 4,581,335
and
-1 x -4,581,335 = 4,581,335
Notice both answers equal 4,581,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,581,335 and divide it by 2:
4,581,335 ÷ 2 = 2,290,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,290,667.5 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 | 4,581,335 | |
| -1 | -4,581,335 |
Now, we try dividing 4,581,335 by 3:
4,581,335 ÷ 3 = 1,527,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,527,111.6667 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 | 4,581,335 | |
| -1 | -4,581,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,581,335 ÷ 4 = 1,145,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,145,333.75 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 | 4,581,335 | |
| -1 | 4,581,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 2,687 | 13,435 | 29,557 | 83,297 | 147,785 | 416,485 | 916,267 | 4,581,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -2,687 | -13,435 | -29,557 | -83,297 | -147,785 | -416,485 | -916,267 | -4,581,335 |
