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 4,868,825, 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 | 4,868,825 | |
| -1 | -4,868,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,868,825.
Example:
1 x 4,868,825 = 4,868,825
and
-1 x -4,868,825 = 4,868,825
Notice both answers equal 4,868,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,868,825 and divide it by 2:
4,868,825 ÷ 2 = 2,434,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,434,412.5 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 | 4,868,825 | |
| -1 | -4,868,825 |
Now, we try dividing 4,868,825 by 3:
4,868,825 ÷ 3 = 1,622,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,622,941.6667 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 | 4,868,825 | |
| -1 | -4,868,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,868,825 ÷ 4 = 1,217,206.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,217,206.25 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 | 4,868,825 | |
| -1 | 4,868,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 71 | 211 | 325 | 355 | 923 | 1,055 | 1,775 | 2,743 | 4,615 | 5,275 | 13,715 | 14,981 | 23,075 | 68,575 | 74,905 | 194,753 | 374,525 | 973,765 | 4,868,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -71 | -211 | -325 | -355 | -923 | -1,055 | -1,775 | -2,743 | -4,615 | -5,275 | -13,715 | -14,981 | -23,075 | -68,575 | -74,905 | -194,753 | -374,525 | -973,765 | -4,868,825 |
