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 4,078,705, 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 | 4,078,705 | |
| -1 | -4,078,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,078,705.
Example:
1 x 4,078,705 = 4,078,705
and
-1 x -4,078,705 = 4,078,705
Notice both answers equal 4,078,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,078,705 and divide it by 2:
4,078,705 ÷ 2 = 2,039,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,039,352.5 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 | 4,078,705 | |
| -1 | -4,078,705 |
Now, we try dividing 4,078,705 by 3:
4,078,705 ÷ 3 = 1,359,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,359,568.3333 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 | 4,078,705 | |
| -1 | -4,078,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,078,705 ÷ 4 = 1,019,676.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,019,676.25 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 | 4,078,705 | |
| -1 | 4,078,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 29 | 115 | 145 | 667 | 1,223 | 3,335 | 6,115 | 28,129 | 35,467 | 140,645 | 177,335 | 815,741 | 4,078,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -29 | -115 | -145 | -667 | -1,223 | -3,335 | -6,115 | -28,129 | -35,467 | -140,645 | -177,335 | -815,741 | -4,078,705 |
