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 4,623,125, 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 | 4,623,125 | |
| -1 | -4,623,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,623,125.
Example:
1 x 4,623,125 = 4,623,125
and
-1 x -4,623,125 = 4,623,125
Notice both answers equal 4,623,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,623,125 and divide it by 2:
4,623,125 ÷ 2 = 2,311,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,311,562.5 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 | 4,623,125 | |
| -1 | -4,623,125 |
Now, we try dividing 4,623,125 by 3:
4,623,125 ÷ 3 = 1,541,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,541,041.6667 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 | 4,623,125 | |
| -1 | -4,623,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,623,125 ÷ 4 = 1,155,781.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,155,781.25 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 | 4,623,125 | |
| -1 | 4,623,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 125 | 325 | 569 | 625 | 1,625 | 2,845 | 7,397 | 8,125 | 14,225 | 36,985 | 71,125 | 184,925 | 355,625 | 924,625 | 4,623,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -125 | -325 | -569 | -625 | -1,625 | -2,845 | -7,397 | -8,125 | -14,225 | -36,985 | -71,125 | -184,925 | -355,625 | -924,625 | -4,623,125 |
