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 4,600,345, 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 | 4,600,345 | |
| -1 | -4,600,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,600,345.
Example:
1 x 4,600,345 = 4,600,345
and
-1 x -4,600,345 = 4,600,345
Notice both answers equal 4,600,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,600,345 and divide it by 2:
4,600,345 ÷ 2 = 2,300,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,300,172.5 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 | 4,600,345 | |
| -1 | -4,600,345 |
Now, we try dividing 4,600,345 by 3:
4,600,345 ÷ 3 = 1,533,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,533,448.3333 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 | 4,600,345 | |
| -1 | -4,600,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,600,345 ÷ 4 = 1,150,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,150,086.25 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 | 4,600,345 | |
| -1 | 4,600,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 109 | 115 | 367 | 545 | 1,835 | 2,507 | 8,441 | 12,535 | 40,003 | 42,205 | 200,015 | 920,069 | 4,600,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -109 | -115 | -367 | -545 | -1,835 | -2,507 | -8,441 | -12,535 | -40,003 | -42,205 | -200,015 | -920,069 | -4,600,345 |
