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 4,644,605, 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 | 4,644,605 | |
| -1 | -4,644,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,644,605.
Example:
1 x 4,644,605 = 4,644,605
and
-1 x -4,644,605 = 4,644,605
Notice both answers equal 4,644,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,644,605 and divide it by 2:
4,644,605 ÷ 2 = 2,322,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,322,302.5 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 | 4,644,605 | |
| -1 | -4,644,605 |
Now, we try dividing 4,644,605 by 3:
4,644,605 ÷ 3 = 1,548,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,548,201.6667 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 | 4,644,605 | |
| -1 | -4,644,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,644,605 ÷ 4 = 1,161,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,161,151.25 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 | 4,644,605 | |
| -1 | 4,644,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 131 | 655 | 917 | 1,013 | 4,585 | 5,065 | 7,091 | 35,455 | 132,703 | 663,515 | 928,921 | 4,644,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -131 | -655 | -917 | -1,013 | -4,585 | -5,065 | -7,091 | -35,455 | -132,703 | -663,515 | -928,921 | -4,644,605 |
