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 4,814,537, 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 | 4,814,537 | |
| -1 | -4,814,537 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,814,537.
Example:
1 x 4,814,537 = 4,814,537
and
-1 x -4,814,537 = 4,814,537
Notice both answers equal 4,814,537
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,814,537 and divide it by 2:
4,814,537 ÷ 2 = 2,407,268.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,407,268.5 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 | 4,814,537 | |
| -1 | -4,814,537 |
Now, we try dividing 4,814,537 by 3:
4,814,537 ÷ 3 = 1,604,845.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,604,845.6667 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 | 4,814,537 | |
| -1 | -4,814,537 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,814,537 ÷ 4 = 1,203,634.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,203,634.25 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 | 4,814,537 | |
| -1 | 4,814,537 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 191 | 277 | 1,337 | 1,939 | 2,483 | 3,601 | 17,381 | 25,207 | 52,907 | 370,349 | 687,791 | 4,814,537 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -191 | -277 | -1,337 | -1,939 | -2,483 | -3,601 | -17,381 | -25,207 | -52,907 | -370,349 | -687,791 | -4,814,537 |
