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 4,308,785, 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 | 4,308,785 | |
| -1 | -4,308,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,308,785.
Example:
1 x 4,308,785 = 4,308,785
and
-1 x -4,308,785 = 4,308,785
Notice both answers equal 4,308,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,308,785 and divide it by 2:
4,308,785 ÷ 2 = 2,154,392.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,154,392.5 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 | 4,308,785 | |
| -1 | -4,308,785 |
Now, we try dividing 4,308,785 by 3:
4,308,785 ÷ 3 = 1,436,261.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,436,261.6667 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 | 4,308,785 | |
| -1 | -4,308,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,308,785 ÷ 4 = 1,077,196.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,077,196.25 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 | 4,308,785 | |
| -1 | 4,308,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 151 | 439 | 755 | 1,963 | 2,195 | 5,707 | 9,815 | 28,535 | 66,289 | 331,445 | 861,757 | 4,308,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -151 | -439 | -755 | -1,963 | -2,195 | -5,707 | -9,815 | -28,535 | -66,289 | -331,445 | -861,757 | -4,308,785 |
