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 4,385,975, 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 | 4,385,975 | |
| -1 | -4,385,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,385,975.
Example:
1 x 4,385,975 = 4,385,975
and
-1 x -4,385,975 = 4,385,975
Notice both answers equal 4,385,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,385,975 and divide it by 2:
4,385,975 ÷ 2 = 2,192,987.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,192,987.5 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 | 4,385,975 | |
| -1 | -4,385,975 |
Now, we try dividing 4,385,975 by 3:
4,385,975 ÷ 3 = 1,461,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,461,991.6667 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 | 4,385,975 | |
| -1 | -4,385,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,385,975 ÷ 4 = 1,096,493.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,096,493.75 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 | 4,385,975 | |
| -1 | 4,385,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 275 | 389 | 451 | 1,025 | 1,945 | 2,255 | 4,279 | 9,725 | 11,275 | 15,949 | 21,395 | 79,745 | 106,975 | 175,439 | 398,725 | 877,195 | 4,385,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -275 | -389 | -451 | -1,025 | -1,945 | -2,255 | -4,279 | -9,725 | -11,275 | -15,949 | -21,395 | -79,745 | -106,975 | -175,439 | -398,725 | -877,195 | -4,385,975 |
