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 4,641,425, 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 | 4,641,425 | |
| -1 | -4,641,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,641,425.
Example:
1 x 4,641,425 = 4,641,425
and
-1 x -4,641,425 = 4,641,425
Notice both answers equal 4,641,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,641,425 and divide it by 2:
4,641,425 ÷ 2 = 2,320,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,320,712.5 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 | 4,641,425 | |
| -1 | -4,641,425 |
Now, we try dividing 4,641,425 by 3:
4,641,425 ÷ 3 = 1,547,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,547,141.6667 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 | 4,641,425 | |
| -1 | -4,641,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,641,425 ÷ 4 = 1,160,356.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,160,356.25 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 | 4,641,425 | |
| -1 | 4,641,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 67 | 85 | 163 | 335 | 425 | 815 | 1,139 | 1,675 | 2,771 | 4,075 | 5,695 | 10,921 | 13,855 | 28,475 | 54,605 | 69,275 | 185,657 | 273,025 | 928,285 | 4,641,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -67 | -85 | -163 | -335 | -425 | -815 | -1,139 | -1,675 | -2,771 | -4,075 | -5,695 | -10,921 | -13,855 | -28,475 | -54,605 | -69,275 | -185,657 | -273,025 | -928,285 | -4,641,425 |
