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 4,245,325, 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 | 4,245,325 | |
| -1 | -4,245,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,245,325.
Example:
1 x 4,245,325 = 4,245,325
and
-1 x -4,245,325 = 4,245,325
Notice both answers equal 4,245,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,245,325 and divide it by 2:
4,245,325 ÷ 2 = 2,122,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,122,662.5 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 | 4,245,325 | |
| -1 | -4,245,325 |
Now, we try dividing 4,245,325 by 3:
4,245,325 ÷ 3 = 1,415,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,415,108.3333 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 | 4,245,325 | |
| -1 | -4,245,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,245,325 ÷ 4 = 1,061,331.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,061,331.25 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 | 4,245,325 | |
| -1 | 4,245,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 175 | 425 | 595 | 1,427 | 2,975 | 7,135 | 9,989 | 24,259 | 35,675 | 49,945 | 121,295 | 169,813 | 249,725 | 606,475 | 849,065 | 4,245,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -175 | -425 | -595 | -1,427 | -2,975 | -7,135 | -9,989 | -24,259 | -35,675 | -49,945 | -121,295 | -169,813 | -249,725 | -606,475 | -849,065 | -4,245,325 |
