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 4,153,525, 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 | 4,153,525 | |
| -1 | -4,153,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,153,525.
Example:
1 x 4,153,525 = 4,153,525
and
-1 x -4,153,525 = 4,153,525
Notice both answers equal 4,153,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,153,525 and divide it by 2:
4,153,525 ÷ 2 = 2,076,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,076,762.5 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 | 4,153,525 | |
| -1 | -4,153,525 |
Now, we try dividing 4,153,525 by 3:
4,153,525 ÷ 3 = 1,384,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,384,508.3333 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 | 4,153,525 | |
| -1 | -4,153,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,153,525 ÷ 4 = 1,038,381.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,038,381.25 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 | 4,153,525 | |
| -1 | 4,153,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 337 | 425 | 493 | 725 | 1,685 | 2,465 | 5,729 | 8,425 | 9,773 | 12,325 | 28,645 | 48,865 | 143,225 | 166,141 | 244,325 | 830,705 | 4,153,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -337 | -425 | -493 | -725 | -1,685 | -2,465 | -5,729 | -8,425 | -9,773 | -12,325 | -28,645 | -48,865 | -143,225 | -166,141 | -244,325 | -830,705 | -4,153,525 |
