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 4,595,239, 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 | 4,595,239 | |
| -1 | -4,595,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,595,239.
Example:
1 x 4,595,239 = 4,595,239
and
-1 x -4,595,239 = 4,595,239
Notice both answers equal 4,595,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,595,239 and divide it by 2:
4,595,239 ÷ 2 = 2,297,619.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,297,619.5 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 | 4,595,239 | |
| -1 | -4,595,239 |
Now, we try dividing 4,595,239 by 3:
4,595,239 ÷ 3 = 1,531,746.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,531,746.3333 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 | 4,595,239 | |
| -1 | -4,595,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,595,239 ÷ 4 = 1,148,809.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,148,809.75 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 | 4,595,239 | |
| -1 | 4,595,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 41 | 253 | 443 | 451 | 943 | 4,873 | 10,189 | 10,373 | 18,163 | 112,079 | 199,793 | 417,749 | 4,595,239 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -41 | -253 | -443 | -451 | -943 | -4,873 | -10,189 | -10,373 | -18,163 | -112,079 | -199,793 | -417,749 | -4,595,239 |
