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 4,456,825, 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 | 4,456,825 | |
| -1 | -4,456,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,456,825.
Example:
1 x 4,456,825 = 4,456,825
and
-1 x -4,456,825 = 4,456,825
Notice both answers equal 4,456,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,456,825 and divide it by 2:
4,456,825 ÷ 2 = 2,228,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,228,412.5 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 | 4,456,825 | |
| -1 | -4,456,825 |
Now, we try dividing 4,456,825 by 3:
4,456,825 ÷ 3 = 1,485,608.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,485,608.3333 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 | 4,456,825 | |
| -1 | -4,456,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,456,825 ÷ 4 = 1,114,206.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,114,206.25 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 | 4,456,825 | |
| -1 | 4,456,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 337 | 529 | 575 | 1,685 | 2,645 | 7,751 | 8,425 | 13,225 | 38,755 | 178,273 | 193,775 | 891,365 | 4,456,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -337 | -529 | -575 | -1,685 | -2,645 | -7,751 | -8,425 | -13,225 | -38,755 | -178,273 | -193,775 | -891,365 | -4,456,825 |
