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 4,882,655, 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 | 4,882,655 | |
| -1 | -4,882,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,882,655.
Example:
1 x 4,882,655 = 4,882,655
and
-1 x -4,882,655 = 4,882,655
Notice both answers equal 4,882,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,882,655 and divide it by 2:
4,882,655 ÷ 2 = 2,441,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,441,327.5 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 | 4,882,655 | |
| -1 | -4,882,655 |
Now, we try dividing 4,882,655 by 3:
4,882,655 ÷ 3 = 1,627,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,627,551.6667 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 | 4,882,655 | |
| -1 | -4,882,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,882,655 ÷ 4 = 1,220,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,220,663.75 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 | 4,882,655 | |
| -1 | 4,882,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 31 | 85 | 109 | 155 | 289 | 527 | 545 | 1,445 | 1,853 | 2,635 | 3,379 | 8,959 | 9,265 | 16,895 | 31,501 | 44,795 | 57,443 | 157,505 | 287,215 | 976,531 | 4,882,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -31 | -85 | -109 | -155 | -289 | -527 | -545 | -1,445 | -1,853 | -2,635 | -3,379 | -8,959 | -9,265 | -16,895 | -31,501 | -44,795 | -57,443 | -157,505 | -287,215 | -976,531 | -4,882,655 |
