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 4,572,625, 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 | 4,572,625 | |
| -1 | -4,572,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,572,625.
Example:
1 x 4,572,625 = 4,572,625
and
-1 x -4,572,625 = 4,572,625
Notice both answers equal 4,572,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,572,625 and divide it by 2:
4,572,625 ÷ 2 = 2,286,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,286,312.5 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 | 4,572,625 | |
| -1 | -4,572,625 |
Now, we try dividing 4,572,625 by 3:
4,572,625 ÷ 3 = 1,524,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,524,208.3333 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 | 4,572,625 | |
| -1 | -4,572,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,572,625 ÷ 4 = 1,143,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,143,156.25 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 | 4,572,625 | |
| -1 | 4,572,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 157 | 233 | 785 | 1,165 | 3,925 | 5,825 | 19,625 | 29,125 | 36,581 | 182,905 | 914,525 | 4,572,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -157 | -233 | -785 | -1,165 | -3,925 | -5,825 | -19,625 | -29,125 | -36,581 | -182,905 | -914,525 | -4,572,625 |
