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 4,386,055, 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 | 4,386,055 | |
| -1 | -4,386,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,386,055.
Example:
1 x 4,386,055 = 4,386,055
and
-1 x -4,386,055 = 4,386,055
Notice both answers equal 4,386,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,386,055 and divide it by 2:
4,386,055 ÷ 2 = 2,193,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,193,027.5 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 | 4,386,055 | |
| -1 | -4,386,055 |
Now, we try dividing 4,386,055 by 3:
4,386,055 ÷ 3 = 1,462,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,462,018.3333 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 | 4,386,055 | |
| -1 | -4,386,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,386,055 ÷ 4 = 1,096,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,096,513.75 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 | 4,386,055 | |
| -1 | 4,386,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 137 | 337 | 685 | 1,685 | 2,603 | 6,403 | 13,015 | 32,015 | 46,169 | 230,845 | 877,211 | 4,386,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -137 | -337 | -685 | -1,685 | -2,603 | -6,403 | -13,015 | -32,015 | -46,169 | -230,845 | -877,211 | -4,386,055 |
