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 4,602,845, 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 | 4,602,845 | |
| -1 | -4,602,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,602,845.
Example:
1 x 4,602,845 = 4,602,845
and
-1 x -4,602,845 = 4,602,845
Notice both answers equal 4,602,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,602,845 and divide it by 2:
4,602,845 ÷ 2 = 2,301,422.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,301,422.5 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 | 4,602,845 | |
| -1 | -4,602,845 |
Now, we try dividing 4,602,845 by 3:
4,602,845 ÷ 3 = 1,534,281.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,534,281.6667 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 | 4,602,845 | |
| -1 | -4,602,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,602,845 ÷ 4 = 1,150,711.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,150,711.25 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 | 4,602,845 | |
| -1 | 4,602,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 19 | 65 | 95 | 247 | 1,235 | 3,727 | 18,635 | 48,451 | 70,813 | 242,255 | 354,065 | 920,569 | 4,602,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -19 | -65 | -95 | -247 | -1,235 | -3,727 | -18,635 | -48,451 | -70,813 | -242,255 | -354,065 | -920,569 | -4,602,845 |
