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 4,635,455, 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 | 4,635,455 | |
| -1 | -4,635,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,635,455.
Example:
1 x 4,635,455 = 4,635,455
and
-1 x -4,635,455 = 4,635,455
Notice both answers equal 4,635,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,635,455 and divide it by 2:
4,635,455 ÷ 2 = 2,317,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,317,727.5 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 | 4,635,455 | |
| -1 | -4,635,455 |
Now, we try dividing 4,635,455 by 3:
4,635,455 ÷ 3 = 1,545,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,545,151.6667 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 | 4,635,455 | |
| -1 | -4,635,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,635,455 ÷ 4 = 1,158,863.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,158,863.75 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 | 4,635,455 | |
| -1 | 4,635,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 271 | 311 | 1,355 | 1,555 | 2,981 | 3,421 | 14,905 | 17,105 | 84,281 | 421,405 | 927,091 | 4,635,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -271 | -311 | -1,355 | -1,555 | -2,981 | -3,421 | -14,905 | -17,105 | -84,281 | -421,405 | -927,091 | -4,635,455 |
