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 4,224,325, 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 | 4,224,325 | |
| -1 | -4,224,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,224,325.
Example:
1 x 4,224,325 = 4,224,325
and
-1 x -4,224,325 = 4,224,325
Notice both answers equal 4,224,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,224,325 and divide it by 2:
4,224,325 ÷ 2 = 2,112,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,112,162.5 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 | 4,224,325 | |
| -1 | -4,224,325 |
Now, we try dividing 4,224,325 by 3:
4,224,325 ÷ 3 = 1,408,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,408,108.3333 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 | 4,224,325 | |
| -1 | -4,224,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,224,325 ÷ 4 = 1,056,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,056,081.25 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 | 4,224,325 | |
| -1 | 4,224,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 101 | 175 | 239 | 505 | 707 | 1,195 | 1,673 | 2,525 | 3,535 | 5,975 | 8,365 | 17,675 | 24,139 | 41,825 | 120,695 | 168,973 | 603,475 | 844,865 | 4,224,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -101 | -175 | -239 | -505 | -707 | -1,195 | -1,673 | -2,525 | -3,535 | -5,975 | -8,365 | -17,675 | -24,139 | -41,825 | -120,695 | -168,973 | -603,475 | -844,865 | -4,224,325 |
