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 4,655,255, 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 | 4,655,255 | |
| -1 | -4,655,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,655,255.
Example:
1 x 4,655,255 = 4,655,255
and
-1 x -4,655,255 = 4,655,255
Notice both answers equal 4,655,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,655,255 and divide it by 2:
4,655,255 ÷ 2 = 2,327,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,327,627.5 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 | 4,655,255 | |
| -1 | -4,655,255 |
Now, we try dividing 4,655,255 by 3:
4,655,255 ÷ 3 = 1,551,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,551,751.6667 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 | 4,655,255 | |
| -1 | -4,655,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,655,255 ÷ 4 = 1,163,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,163,813.75 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 | 4,655,255 | |
| -1 | 4,655,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 1,597 | 2,915 | 7,985 | 17,567 | 84,641 | 87,835 | 423,205 | 931,051 | 4,655,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -1,597 | -2,915 | -7,985 | -17,567 | -84,641 | -87,835 | -423,205 | -931,051 | -4,655,255 |
