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 4,656,113, 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 | 4,656,113 | |
| -1 | -4,656,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,656,113.
Example:
1 x 4,656,113 = 4,656,113
and
-1 x -4,656,113 = 4,656,113
Notice both answers equal 4,656,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,656,113 and divide it by 2:
4,656,113 ÷ 2 = 2,328,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,328,056.5 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 | 4,656,113 | |
| -1 | -4,656,113 |
Now, we try dividing 4,656,113 by 3:
4,656,113 ÷ 3 = 1,552,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,552,037.6667 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 | 4,656,113 | |
| -1 | -4,656,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,656,113 ÷ 4 = 1,164,028.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,164,028.25 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 | 4,656,113 | |
| -1 | 4,656,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 1,309 | 3,557 | 24,899 | 39,127 | 60,469 | 273,889 | 423,283 | 665,159 | 4,656,113 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -1,309 | -3,557 | -24,899 | -39,127 | -60,469 | -273,889 | -423,283 | -665,159 | -4,656,113 |
