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 4,185,755, 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 | 4,185,755 | |
| -1 | -4,185,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,185,755.
Example:
1 x 4,185,755 = 4,185,755
and
-1 x -4,185,755 = 4,185,755
Notice both answers equal 4,185,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,185,755 and divide it by 2:
4,185,755 ÷ 2 = 2,092,877.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,092,877.5 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 | 4,185,755 | |
| -1 | -4,185,755 |
Now, we try dividing 4,185,755 by 3:
4,185,755 ÷ 3 = 1,395,251.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,395,251.6667 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 | 4,185,755 | |
| -1 | -4,185,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,185,755 ÷ 4 = 1,046,438.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,046,438.75 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 | 4,185,755 | |
| -1 | 4,185,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 2,027 | 2,065 | 10,135 | 14,189 | 70,945 | 119,593 | 597,965 | 837,151 | 4,185,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -2,027 | -2,065 | -10,135 | -14,189 | -70,945 | -119,593 | -597,965 | -837,151 | -4,185,755 |
