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 4,456,625, 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 | 4,456,625 | |
| -1 | -4,456,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,456,625.
Example:
1 x 4,456,625 = 4,456,625
and
-1 x -4,456,625 = 4,456,625
Notice both answers equal 4,456,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,456,625 and divide it by 2:
4,456,625 ÷ 2 = 2,228,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,228,312.5 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 | 4,456,625 | |
| -1 | -4,456,625 |
Now, we try dividing 4,456,625 by 3:
4,456,625 ÷ 3 = 1,485,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,485,541.6667 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 | 4,456,625 | |
| -1 | -4,456,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,456,625 ÷ 4 = 1,114,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,114,156.25 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 | 4,456,625 | |
| -1 | 4,456,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 101 | 125 | 353 | 505 | 1,765 | 2,525 | 8,825 | 12,625 | 35,653 | 44,125 | 178,265 | 891,325 | 4,456,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -101 | -125 | -353 | -505 | -1,765 | -2,525 | -8,825 | -12,625 | -35,653 | -44,125 | -178,265 | -891,325 | -4,456,625 |
