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 4,602,829, 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 | 4,602,829 | |
| -1 | -4,602,829 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,602,829.
Example:
1 x 4,602,829 = 4,602,829
and
-1 x -4,602,829 = 4,602,829
Notice both answers equal 4,602,829
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,602,829 and divide it by 2:
4,602,829 ÷ 2 = 2,301,414.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,301,414.5 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 | 4,602,829 | |
| -1 | -4,602,829 |
Now, we try dividing 4,602,829 by 3:
4,602,829 ÷ 3 = 1,534,276.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,534,276.3333 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 | 4,602,829 | |
| -1 | -4,602,829 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,602,829 ÷ 4 = 1,150,707.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,150,707.25 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 | 4,602,829 | |
| -1 | 4,602,829 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 113 | 161 | 253 | 529 | 791 | 1,243 | 1,771 | 2,599 | 3,703 | 5,819 | 8,701 | 18,193 | 28,589 | 40,733 | 59,777 | 200,123 | 418,439 | 657,547 | 4,602,829 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -113 | -161 | -253 | -529 | -791 | -1,243 | -1,771 | -2,599 | -3,703 | -5,819 | -8,701 | -18,193 | -28,589 | -40,733 | -59,777 | -200,123 | -418,439 | -657,547 | -4,602,829 |
