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 4,601,375, 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 | 4,601,375 | |
| -1 | -4,601,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,601,375.
Example:
1 x 4,601,375 = 4,601,375
and
-1 x -4,601,375 = 4,601,375
Notice both answers equal 4,601,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,601,375 and divide it by 2:
4,601,375 ÷ 2 = 2,300,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,300,687.5 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 | 4,601,375 | |
| -1 | -4,601,375 |
Now, we try dividing 4,601,375 by 3:
4,601,375 ÷ 3 = 1,533,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,533,791.6667 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 | 4,601,375 | |
| -1 | -4,601,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,601,375 ÷ 4 = 1,150,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,150,343.75 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 | 4,601,375 | |
| -1 | 4,601,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 131 | 281 | 655 | 1,405 | 3,275 | 7,025 | 16,375 | 35,125 | 36,811 | 184,055 | 920,275 | 4,601,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -131 | -281 | -655 | -1,405 | -3,275 | -7,025 | -16,375 | -35,125 | -36,811 | -184,055 | -920,275 | -4,601,375 |
