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 4,598,323, 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 | 4,598,323 | |
| -1 | -4,598,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,598,323.
Example:
1 x 4,598,323 = 4,598,323
and
-1 x -4,598,323 = 4,598,323
Notice both answers equal 4,598,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,598,323 and divide it by 2:
4,598,323 ÷ 2 = 2,299,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,299,161.5 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 | 4,598,323 | |
| -1 | -4,598,323 |
Now, we try dividing 4,598,323 by 3:
4,598,323 ÷ 3 = 1,532,774.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,532,774.3333 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 | 4,598,323 | |
| -1 | -4,598,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,598,323 ÷ 4 = 1,149,580.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,149,580.75 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 | 4,598,323 | |
| -1 | 4,598,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 37 | 211 | 589 | 703 | 1,147 | 4,009 | 6,541 | 7,807 | 21,793 | 124,279 | 148,333 | 242,017 | 4,598,323 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -37 | -211 | -589 | -703 | -1,147 | -4,009 | -6,541 | -7,807 | -21,793 | -124,279 | -148,333 | -242,017 | -4,598,323 |
