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 4,155,655, 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 | 4,155,655 | |
| -1 | -4,155,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,155,655.
Example:
1 x 4,155,655 = 4,155,655
and
-1 x -4,155,655 = 4,155,655
Notice both answers equal 4,155,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,155,655 and divide it by 2:
4,155,655 ÷ 2 = 2,077,827.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,077,827.5 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 | 4,155,655 | |
| -1 | -4,155,655 |
Now, we try dividing 4,155,655 by 3:
4,155,655 ÷ 3 = 1,385,218.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,385,218.3333 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 | 4,155,655 | |
| -1 | -4,155,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,155,655 ÷ 4 = 1,038,913.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,038,913.75 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 | 4,155,655 | |
| -1 | 4,155,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 3,209 | 16,045 | 22,463 | 112,315 | 118,733 | 593,665 | 831,131 | 4,155,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -3,209 | -16,045 | -22,463 | -112,315 | -118,733 | -593,665 | -831,131 | -4,155,655 |
