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 4,542,425, 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 | 4,542,425 | |
| -1 | -4,542,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,542,425.
Example:
1 x 4,542,425 = 4,542,425
and
-1 x -4,542,425 = 4,542,425
Notice both answers equal 4,542,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,542,425 and divide it by 2:
4,542,425 ÷ 2 = 2,271,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,271,212.5 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 | 4,542,425 | |
| -1 | -4,542,425 |
Now, we try dividing 4,542,425 by 3:
4,542,425 ÷ 3 = 1,514,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,514,141.6667 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 | 4,542,425 | |
| -1 | -4,542,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,542,425 ÷ 4 = 1,135,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,135,606.25 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 | 4,542,425 | |
| -1 | 4,542,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 73 | 95 | 131 | 365 | 475 | 655 | 1,387 | 1,825 | 2,489 | 3,275 | 6,935 | 9,563 | 12,445 | 34,675 | 47,815 | 62,225 | 181,697 | 239,075 | 908,485 | 4,542,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -73 | -95 | -131 | -365 | -475 | -655 | -1,387 | -1,825 | -2,489 | -3,275 | -6,935 | -9,563 | -12,445 | -34,675 | -47,815 | -62,225 | -181,697 | -239,075 | -908,485 | -4,542,425 |
