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 4,144,469, 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 | 4,144,469 | |
| -1 | -4,144,469 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,144,469.
Example:
1 x 4,144,469 = 4,144,469
and
-1 x -4,144,469 = 4,144,469
Notice both answers equal 4,144,469
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,144,469 and divide it by 2:
4,144,469 ÷ 2 = 2,072,234.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,072,234.5 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 | 4,144,469 | |
| -1 | -4,144,469 |
Now, we try dividing 4,144,469 by 3:
4,144,469 ÷ 3 = 1,381,489.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,381,489.6667 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 | 4,144,469 | |
| -1 | -4,144,469 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,144,469 ÷ 4 = 1,036,117.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,036,117.25 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 | 4,144,469 | |
| -1 | 4,144,469 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 49 | 281 | 301 | 343 | 1,967 | 2,107 | 12,083 | 13,769 | 14,749 | 84,581 | 96,383 | 592,067 | 4,144,469 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -49 | -281 | -301 | -343 | -1,967 | -2,107 | -12,083 | -13,769 | -14,749 | -84,581 | -96,383 | -592,067 | -4,144,469 |
