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 4,637,651, 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 | 4,637,651 | |
| -1 | -4,637,651 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,637,651.
Example:
1 x 4,637,651 = 4,637,651
and
-1 x -4,637,651 = 4,637,651
Notice both answers equal 4,637,651
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,637,651 and divide it by 2:
4,637,651 ÷ 2 = 2,318,825.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,318,825.5 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 | 4,637,651 | |
| -1 | -4,637,651 |
Now, we try dividing 4,637,651 by 3:
4,637,651 ÷ 3 = 1,545,883.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,545,883.6667 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 | 4,637,651 | |
| -1 | -4,637,651 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,637,651 ÷ 4 = 1,159,412.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,159,412.75 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 | 4,637,651 | |
| -1 | 4,637,651 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 29 | 391 | 409 | 493 | 667 | 6,953 | 9,407 | 11,339 | 11,861 | 159,919 | 201,637 | 272,803 | 4,637,651 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -29 | -391 | -409 | -493 | -667 | -6,953 | -9,407 | -11,339 | -11,861 | -159,919 | -201,637 | -272,803 | -4,637,651 |
