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 4,654,433, 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 | 4,654,433 | |
| -1 | -4,654,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,654,433.
Example:
1 x 4,654,433 = 4,654,433
and
-1 x -4,654,433 = 4,654,433
Notice both answers equal 4,654,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,654,433 and divide it by 2:
4,654,433 ÷ 2 = 2,327,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,327,216.5 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 | 4,654,433 | |
| -1 | -4,654,433 |
Now, we try dividing 4,654,433 by 3:
4,654,433 ÷ 3 = 1,551,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,551,477.6667 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 | 4,654,433 | |
| -1 | -4,654,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,654,433 ÷ 4 = 1,163,608.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,163,608.25 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 | 4,654,433 | |
| -1 | 4,654,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 89 | 217 | 241 | 623 | 1,687 | 2,759 | 7,471 | 19,313 | 21,449 | 52,297 | 150,143 | 664,919 | 4,654,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -89 | -217 | -241 | -623 | -1,687 | -2,759 | -7,471 | -19,313 | -21,449 | -52,297 | -150,143 | -664,919 | -4,654,433 |
