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 4,979,425, 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 | 4,979,425 | |
| -1 | -4,979,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,979,425.
Example:
1 x 4,979,425 = 4,979,425
and
-1 x -4,979,425 = 4,979,425
Notice both answers equal 4,979,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,979,425 and divide it by 2:
4,979,425 ÷ 2 = 2,489,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,489,712.5 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 | 4,979,425 | |
| -1 | -4,979,425 |
Now, we try dividing 4,979,425 by 3:
4,979,425 ÷ 3 = 1,659,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,659,808.3333 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 | 4,979,425 | |
| -1 | -4,979,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,979,425 ÷ 4 = 1,244,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,244,856.25 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 | 4,979,425 | |
| -1 | 4,979,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 25 | 55 | 95 | 209 | 275 | 475 | 953 | 1,045 | 4,765 | 5,225 | 10,483 | 18,107 | 23,825 | 52,415 | 90,535 | 199,177 | 262,075 | 452,675 | 995,885 | 4,979,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -25 | -55 | -95 | -209 | -275 | -475 | -953 | -1,045 | -4,765 | -5,225 | -10,483 | -18,107 | -23,825 | -52,415 | -90,535 | -199,177 | -262,075 | -452,675 | -995,885 | -4,979,425 |
