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 4,322,885, 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 | 4,322,885 | |
| -1 | -4,322,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,322,885.
Example:
1 x 4,322,885 = 4,322,885
and
-1 x -4,322,885 = 4,322,885
Notice both answers equal 4,322,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,322,885 and divide it by 2:
4,322,885 ÷ 2 = 2,161,442.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,161,442.5 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 | 4,322,885 | |
| -1 | -4,322,885 |
Now, we try dividing 4,322,885 by 3:
4,322,885 ÷ 3 = 1,440,961.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,440,961.6667 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 | 4,322,885 | |
| -1 | -4,322,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,322,885 ÷ 4 = 1,080,721.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,080,721.25 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 | 4,322,885 | |
| -1 | 4,322,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 1,015 | 4,259 | 21,295 | 29,813 | 123,511 | 149,065 | 617,555 | 864,577 | 4,322,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -1,015 | -4,259 | -21,295 | -29,813 | -123,511 | -149,065 | -617,555 | -864,577 | -4,322,885 |
