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 4,214,795, 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 | 4,214,795 | |
| -1 | -4,214,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,214,795.
Example:
1 x 4,214,795 = 4,214,795
and
-1 x -4,214,795 = 4,214,795
Notice both answers equal 4,214,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,214,795 and divide it by 2:
4,214,795 ÷ 2 = 2,107,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,107,397.5 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 | 4,214,795 | |
| -1 | -4,214,795 |
Now, we try dividing 4,214,795 by 3:
4,214,795 ÷ 3 = 1,404,931.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,404,931.6667 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 | 4,214,795 | |
| -1 | -4,214,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,214,795 ÷ 4 = 1,053,698.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,053,698.75 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 | 4,214,795 | |
| -1 | 4,214,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 61 | 65 | 305 | 793 | 1,063 | 3,965 | 5,315 | 13,819 | 64,843 | 69,095 | 324,215 | 842,959 | 4,214,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -61 | -65 | -305 | -793 | -1,063 | -3,965 | -5,315 | -13,819 | -64,843 | -69,095 | -324,215 | -842,959 | -4,214,795 |
