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 4,160,125, 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 | 4,160,125 | |
| -1 | -4,160,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,160,125.
Example:
1 x 4,160,125 = 4,160,125
and
-1 x -4,160,125 = 4,160,125
Notice both answers equal 4,160,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,160,125 and divide it by 2:
4,160,125 ÷ 2 = 2,080,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,080,062.5 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 | 4,160,125 | |
| -1 | -4,160,125 |
Now, we try dividing 4,160,125 by 3:
4,160,125 ÷ 3 = 1,386,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,386,708.3333 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 | 4,160,125 | |
| -1 | -4,160,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,160,125 ÷ 4 = 1,040,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,040,031.25 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 | 4,160,125 | |
| -1 | 4,160,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 125 | 575 | 1,447 | 2,875 | 7,235 | 33,281 | 36,175 | 166,405 | 180,875 | 832,025 | 4,160,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -125 | -575 | -1,447 | -2,875 | -7,235 | -33,281 | -36,175 | -166,405 | -180,875 | -832,025 | -4,160,125 |
