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 4,025,791, 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 | 4,025,791 | |
| -1 | -4,025,791 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,025,791.
Example:
1 x 4,025,791 = 4,025,791
and
-1 x -4,025,791 = 4,025,791
Notice both answers equal 4,025,791
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,025,791 and divide it by 2:
4,025,791 ÷ 2 = 2,012,895.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,012,895.5 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 | 4,025,791 | |
| -1 | -4,025,791 |
Now, we try dividing 4,025,791 by 3:
4,025,791 ÷ 3 = 1,341,930.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,341,930.3333 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 | 4,025,791 | |
| -1 | -4,025,791 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,025,791 ÷ 4 = 1,006,447.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,006,447.75 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 | 4,025,791 | |
| -1 | 4,025,791 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 97 | 121 | 343 | 539 | 679 | 847 | 1,067 | 3,773 | 4,753 | 5,929 | 7,469 | 11,737 | 33,271 | 41,503 | 52,283 | 82,159 | 365,981 | 575,113 | 4,025,791 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -97 | -121 | -343 | -539 | -679 | -847 | -1,067 | -3,773 | -4,753 | -5,929 | -7,469 | -11,737 | -33,271 | -41,503 | -52,283 | -82,159 | -365,981 | -575,113 | -4,025,791 |
