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 4,162,525, 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 | 4,162,525 | |
| -1 | -4,162,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,162,525.
Example:
1 x 4,162,525 = 4,162,525
and
-1 x -4,162,525 = 4,162,525
Notice both answers equal 4,162,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,162,525 and divide it by 2:
4,162,525 ÷ 2 = 2,081,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,081,262.5 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 | 4,162,525 | |
| -1 | -4,162,525 |
Now, we try dividing 4,162,525 by 3:
4,162,525 ÷ 3 = 1,387,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,387,508.3333 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 | 4,162,525 | |
| -1 | -4,162,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,162,525 ÷ 4 = 1,040,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,040,631.25 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 | 4,162,525 | |
| -1 | 4,162,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 41 | 131 | 155 | 205 | 655 | 775 | 1,025 | 1,271 | 3,275 | 4,061 | 5,371 | 6,355 | 20,305 | 26,855 | 31,775 | 101,525 | 134,275 | 166,501 | 832,505 | 4,162,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -41 | -131 | -155 | -205 | -655 | -775 | -1,025 | -1,271 | -3,275 | -4,061 | -5,371 | -6,355 | -20,305 | -26,855 | -31,775 | -101,525 | -134,275 | -166,501 | -832,505 | -4,162,525 |
