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 4,811,255, 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 | 4,811,255 | |
| -1 | -4,811,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,811,255.
Example:
1 x 4,811,255 = 4,811,255
and
-1 x -4,811,255 = 4,811,255
Notice both answers equal 4,811,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,811,255 and divide it by 2:
4,811,255 ÷ 2 = 2,405,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,405,627.5 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 | 4,811,255 | |
| -1 | -4,811,255 |
Now, we try dividing 4,811,255 by 3:
4,811,255 ÷ 3 = 1,603,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,603,751.6667 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 | 4,811,255 | |
| -1 | -4,811,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,811,255 ÷ 4 = 1,202,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,202,813.75 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 | 4,811,255 | |
| -1 | 4,811,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 107 | 115 | 391 | 529 | 535 | 1,819 | 1,955 | 2,461 | 2,645 | 8,993 | 9,095 | 12,305 | 41,837 | 44,965 | 56,603 | 209,185 | 283,015 | 962,251 | 4,811,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -107 | -115 | -391 | -529 | -535 | -1,819 | -1,955 | -2,461 | -2,645 | -8,993 | -9,095 | -12,305 | -41,837 | -44,965 | -56,603 | -209,185 | -283,015 | -962,251 | -4,811,255 |
