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 4,475,705, 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 | 4,475,705 | |
| -1 | -4,475,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,475,705.
Example:
1 x 4,475,705 = 4,475,705
and
-1 x -4,475,705 = 4,475,705
Notice both answers equal 4,475,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,475,705 and divide it by 2:
4,475,705 ÷ 2 = 2,237,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,237,852.5 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 | 4,475,705 | |
| -1 | -4,475,705 |
Now, we try dividing 4,475,705 by 3:
4,475,705 ÷ 3 = 1,491,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,491,901.6667 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 | 4,475,705 | |
| -1 | -4,475,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,475,705 ÷ 4 = 1,118,926.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,118,926.25 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 | 4,475,705 | |
| -1 | 4,475,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 37 | 65 | 185 | 481 | 1,861 | 2,405 | 9,305 | 24,193 | 68,857 | 120,965 | 344,285 | 895,141 | 4,475,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -37 | -65 | -185 | -481 | -1,861 | -2,405 | -9,305 | -24,193 | -68,857 | -120,965 | -344,285 | -895,141 | -4,475,705 |
