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 4,482,725, 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 | 4,482,725 | |
| -1 | -4,482,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,482,725.
Example:
1 x 4,482,725 = 4,482,725
and
-1 x -4,482,725 = 4,482,725
Notice both answers equal 4,482,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,482,725 and divide it by 2:
4,482,725 ÷ 2 = 2,241,362.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,241,362.5 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 | 4,482,725 | |
| -1 | -4,482,725 |
Now, we try dividing 4,482,725 by 3:
4,482,725 ÷ 3 = 1,494,241.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,494,241.6667 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 | 4,482,725 | |
| -1 | -4,482,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,482,725 ÷ 4 = 1,120,681.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,120,681.25 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 | 4,482,725 | |
| -1 | 4,482,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 169 | 325 | 845 | 1,061 | 4,225 | 5,305 | 13,793 | 26,525 | 68,965 | 179,309 | 344,825 | 896,545 | 4,482,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -169 | -325 | -845 | -1,061 | -4,225 | -5,305 | -13,793 | -26,525 | -68,965 | -179,309 | -344,825 | -896,545 | -4,482,725 |
