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 4,652,263, 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 | 4,652,263 | |
| -1 | -4,652,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,652,263.
Example:
1 x 4,652,263 = 4,652,263
and
-1 x -4,652,263 = 4,652,263
Notice both answers equal 4,652,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,652,263 and divide it by 2:
4,652,263 ÷ 2 = 2,326,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,326,131.5 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 | 4,652,263 | |
| -1 | -4,652,263 |
Now, we try dividing 4,652,263 by 3:
4,652,263 ÷ 3 = 1,550,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,550,754.3333 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 | 4,652,263 | |
| -1 | -4,652,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,652,263 ÷ 4 = 1,163,065.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,163,065.75 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 | 4,652,263 | |
| -1 | 4,652,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 31 | 77 | 217 | 341 | 1,949 | 2,387 | 13,643 | 21,439 | 60,419 | 150,073 | 422,933 | 664,609 | 4,652,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -31 | -77 | -217 | -341 | -1,949 | -2,387 | -13,643 | -21,439 | -60,419 | -150,073 | -422,933 | -664,609 | -4,652,263 |
