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 4,257,995, 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 | 4,257,995 | |
| -1 | -4,257,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,257,995.
Example:
1 x 4,257,995 = 4,257,995
and
-1 x -4,257,995 = 4,257,995
Notice both answers equal 4,257,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,257,995 and divide it by 2:
4,257,995 ÷ 2 = 2,128,997.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,128,997.5 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 | 4,257,995 | |
| -1 | -4,257,995 |
Now, we try dividing 4,257,995 by 3:
4,257,995 ÷ 3 = 1,419,331.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,419,331.6667 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 | 4,257,995 | |
| -1 | -4,257,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,257,995 ÷ 4 = 1,064,498.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,064,498.75 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 | 4,257,995 | |
| -1 | 4,257,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 337 | 361 | 665 | 1,685 | 1,805 | 2,359 | 2,527 | 6,403 | 11,795 | 12,635 | 32,015 | 44,821 | 121,657 | 224,105 | 608,285 | 851,599 | 4,257,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -337 | -361 | -665 | -1,685 | -1,805 | -2,359 | -2,527 | -6,403 | -11,795 | -12,635 | -32,015 | -44,821 | -121,657 | -224,105 | -608,285 | -851,599 | -4,257,995 |
