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 4,240,625, 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 | 4,240,625 | |
| -1 | -4,240,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,240,625.
Example:
1 x 4,240,625 = 4,240,625
and
-1 x -4,240,625 = 4,240,625
Notice both answers equal 4,240,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,240,625 and divide it by 2:
4,240,625 ÷ 2 = 2,120,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,120,312.5 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 | 4,240,625 | |
| -1 | -4,240,625 |
Now, we try dividing 4,240,625 by 3:
4,240,625 ÷ 3 = 1,413,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,413,541.6667 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 | 4,240,625 | |
| -1 | -4,240,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,240,625 ÷ 4 = 1,060,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,060,156.25 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 | 4,240,625 | |
| -1 | 4,240,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 59 | 115 | 125 | 295 | 575 | 625 | 1,357 | 1,475 | 2,875 | 3,125 | 6,785 | 7,375 | 14,375 | 33,925 | 36,875 | 71,875 | 169,625 | 184,375 | 848,125 | 4,240,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -59 | -115 | -125 | -295 | -575 | -625 | -1,357 | -1,475 | -2,875 | -3,125 | -6,785 | -7,375 | -14,375 | -33,925 | -36,875 | -71,875 | -169,625 | -184,375 | -848,125 | -4,240,625 |
