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 4,166,875, 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 | 4,166,875 | |
| -1 | -4,166,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,166,875.
Example:
1 x 4,166,875 = 4,166,875
and
-1 x -4,166,875 = 4,166,875
Notice both answers equal 4,166,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,166,875 and divide it by 2:
4,166,875 ÷ 2 = 2,083,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,083,437.5 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 | 4,166,875 | |
| -1 | -4,166,875 |
Now, we try dividing 4,166,875 by 3:
4,166,875 ÷ 3 = 1,388,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,388,958.3333 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 | 4,166,875 | |
| -1 | -4,166,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,166,875 ÷ 4 = 1,041,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,041,718.75 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 | 4,166,875 | |
| -1 | 4,166,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 59 | 113 | 125 | 295 | 565 | 625 | 1,475 | 2,825 | 6,667 | 7,375 | 14,125 | 33,335 | 36,875 | 70,625 | 166,675 | 833,375 | 4,166,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -59 | -113 | -125 | -295 | -565 | -625 | -1,475 | -2,825 | -6,667 | -7,375 | -14,125 | -33,335 | -36,875 | -70,625 | -166,675 | -833,375 | -4,166,875 |
