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 4,156,705, 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 | 4,156,705 | |
| -1 | -4,156,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,156,705.
Example:
1 x 4,156,705 = 4,156,705
and
-1 x -4,156,705 = 4,156,705
Notice both answers equal 4,156,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,156,705 and divide it by 2:
4,156,705 ÷ 2 = 2,078,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,078,352.5 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 | 4,156,705 | |
| -1 | -4,156,705 |
Now, we try dividing 4,156,705 by 3:
4,156,705 ÷ 3 = 1,385,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,385,568.3333 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 | 4,156,705 | |
| -1 | -4,156,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,156,705 ÷ 4 = 1,039,176.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,039,176.25 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 | 4,156,705 | |
| -1 | 4,156,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 113 | 565 | 791 | 1,051 | 3,955 | 5,255 | 7,357 | 36,785 | 118,763 | 593,815 | 831,341 | 4,156,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -113 | -565 | -791 | -1,051 | -3,955 | -5,255 | -7,357 | -36,785 | -118,763 | -593,815 | -831,341 | -4,156,705 |
