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 4,232,275, 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 | 4,232,275 | |
| -1 | -4,232,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,232,275.
Example:
1 x 4,232,275 = 4,232,275
and
-1 x -4,232,275 = 4,232,275
Notice both answers equal 4,232,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,232,275 and divide it by 2:
4,232,275 ÷ 2 = 2,116,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,116,137.5 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 | 4,232,275 | |
| -1 | -4,232,275 |
Now, we try dividing 4,232,275 by 3:
4,232,275 ÷ 3 = 1,410,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,410,758.3333 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 | 4,232,275 | |
| -1 | -4,232,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,232,275 ÷ 4 = 1,058,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,058,068.75 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 | 4,232,275 | |
| -1 | 4,232,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 43 | 127 | 155 | 215 | 635 | 775 | 1,075 | 1,333 | 3,175 | 3,937 | 5,461 | 6,665 | 19,685 | 27,305 | 33,325 | 98,425 | 136,525 | 169,291 | 846,455 | 4,232,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -43 | -127 | -155 | -215 | -635 | -775 | -1,075 | -1,333 | -3,175 | -3,937 | -5,461 | -6,665 | -19,685 | -27,305 | -33,325 | -98,425 | -136,525 | -169,291 | -846,455 | -4,232,275 |
